‘30s Movies You Should Watch
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

Bringing Up Baby to Duck Soup, It Happened One Night to Topper, and more.

I asked Go Into The Story readers to post reflections about a favorite movie from the 1930s with two goals:

  • To provide background and analysis on movies from this decade
  • To inspire people to watch movies which is critical for learning the craft of screenwriting

All Quiet on the Western Front

Bride of Frankenstein

It Happened One Night

Make Way for Tomorrow

The 39 Steps

My advice: Use the analysis and background provided above, then pick 10 of these movies and watch them.

This is one key to immersing yourself in the world of cinema which you MUST do in order to become a better screenwriter.
