The 1930s is primarily known as Hollywood's Golden Age (from pre-code to its greatest year- 1939) however, internationally, several of the most important directors of the twentieth century made their first great films in this decade: Alfred Hitchcock (following some promising 20s films), Yasujiro Ozu, and Jean Renior, among others. Here's the 1930s films that have managed to elude me so far, but they're on my radar:
I Flunked But...- 1930
The Threepenny Opera- 1931
Smilin' Through- 1932
Charlie Chan in London- 1934
Manhattan Melodrama- 1934
David Copperfield- 1935
The Scoundrel- 1935
Libeled Lady- 1936
In Old Chicago- 1937
Beau Geste- 1939

David Copperfiled is a must see. If Charles Dickens had been a film maker, this is exactly how he would have filmed his novel. Cast to perfection. WC Fields steals every scene he's in.
