Classic Movies (1930s-1990s)

As selected and analyzed by Go Into The Story Readers.

Some years ago, I ran a series on the blog asking readers to suggest their favorite movies decade by decade from the 1930s to the 1990s. Here are links to all of those suggestions.

Classic 30s Movies

Classic 40s Movies

Classic 50s Movies

Classic 60s Movies

Classic 70s Movies

Classic 80s Movies

Classic 90s Movies

Classic International Movies

You will note we also included Classic International Movies. Why this series? Because if you’re serious about being a screenwriter, you need to watch movies. They not only can inspire you and provide fodder for your own writing projects, a deep immersion into cinema history is simply something you must have to survive in Hollywood as I wrote about in this article: Real World Screenwriting: Know Movies.

So … watch movies. The movies suggested above are a good place is start and thanks to the generosity of Go Into The Story readers, you have some background on each film to provide a context for your viewing enjoyment.
