    - Gone with the Wind
    - Frankenstein
    - The wizard of Oz
    - Modern Times (haha had to watch a scene in one of my Quality Management classes back in college)
    - Grand Illusion

    Buah! I LOVE "The Thin Man" series... And of course Gone with the Wind and the Wizard of Oz... but unfortunately I don't watch too many movies from the 30's so this is about the extent of my knowledge.
