Lists of Wide Release Films on Wikipedia from 1936

My Top Picks

  1. Modern Times: I'm obviously a bit biased towards Chaplin. Modern times is a great and very funny film.

  2. San Francisco: While musicals aren't my favourite genre, this one is very interesting because it shifts tone between gospel, opera and popular singing. It's also got some great earthquake scenes and a story that wouldn't be out of place in a modern film. Worthy of a modern day remake, with less music and a little less emphasis on religion.

  3. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - (GB)
