    I think the plan is to do the 20's too, but I think that is going too far.

    The thirties is one of the best decades, movie-wise.
    So many absolute treasures.

    Fewer people might participate in the 1920s, true, but come on, Metropolis, Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Passion of Joan of Arc, The Man Who Laughs? So many classics!

    I want to thank each and every person who's made a nomination or a seconding as we wrapped up our 1930s nominations today. This has been such a long tournament and I can't believe we're starting to see the finish line! This has been such a joy to run this event, with all of life's trials and tribulations. Movies are a special kind of entertainment that can transport us and transform us. They're time capsules and time machines. It's why I find the 1930s so endlessly fascinating and looking forward to start voting on this decade probably most of all.

    I've updated the first post of this thread with the schedule. As you can see, we have three full weeks before Round 1 starts. In the next few days I want to post a list of where each movie seems to be streaming, and I hope we all can take advantage of this time and catch up with the nominees or refresh our memories if it's been years and decades since we've seen some of these classics.

    One of, maybe. It doesn't hold a candle to the 70s, 90s, and 60s though. Even the 2000's clear it.

    Yesterday, the first Round of the 1930s came to a close (we have one stray tiebreaker which will end after Round 2 starts, but won't impact any of the earlier groups). Thank you so much to everyone who voted, we had some unexpectedly great turnout with this much older decade of movies! But this includes some of the best known movies of all time. And my hope is that folks use this opportunity to check out some of the other lesser known films moving on through the rounds, as each of the 96 nominees and even the ones left unseconded, are worth a look.

    Round 2 starts on Monday!

    I can't remember if I nominated it or seconded it but that was my entry. I did not vote for it because it was up against two other better films.

    How depressing that Chaplin's final silent film doesn't move on. Some believe it's one of the top 50 movies OF ALL TIME!

    I guess I haven't been paying attention to the overall standing because I thought Wizard of Oz would be ranked number 1. Shocked that it's currently at number 5.

    The Wizard of Oz should win since it's the best film left but it won't.
    Reading Fairy Tale now and King references it yet again in his work.

    Wizard of Oz wasn't even popular upon release. It took a decade until people started to like it.
    I can't stand the movie.

    It would be my pick for top film of the decade. It's just so iconic. I always thought it was universally loved.

    I can't believe The Mummy made it. Such a boring movie! And over so many deserving films too.
