What's missing today in movies is quality.
The 1939 Academy Awards gave honors for the top movies of that year which included, "Gone With the Wind," "The Wizard of Oz," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "Stagecoach."I think 1939 is generally considered the finest year EVER for movie making. In addition to those classics you can also add:
- Wuthering Heights
- The Hunchback of Notre Dame
- Of Mice and Men
- Goodbye, Mr. Chips
- Dark Victory
- Ninotchka
- Beau Geste
- The Hound of the Baskervilles
- Destry Rides Again
- Gunga Din
- Made for Each Other
- Only Angels Have Wings
- Young Mr. Lincoln
An impressive list indeed.
