A chronological agenda of my movie experiences.

Gene Hackman, Terence Stamp, Ned Beatty, Christopher Reeve, Jackie Cooper, Sarah Douglas, Jeff East, Margot Kidder, Jack O'Halloran, Valerie Perrine, and Susannah York in Superman (1978)

Irène Jacob and Guillaume de Tonquédec in The Double Life of Véronique (1991)

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

The thirties open with movies finally finding their voice—and then discovering every possible way to bend, belt, and break it.

Sound goes from novelty to native tongue: Pre-Code Hollywood fires off pistol-crack gangster yarns (Little Caesar, Scarface), champagne-dry screwball banter (It Happened One Night, Bringing Up Baby), and torrid melodramas before the 1934 Hays Code slams the door. Even so, the delirious choreography of Busby Berkeley’s kaleidoscopic musicals (42nd Street, Gold Diggers of 1933) turns bread-line gloom into geometric euphoria.

Meanwhile, studio horror is busy stitching nightmares together: Universal’s monster stable (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, Bride of Frankenstein) invents Gothic franchise logic, while RKO’s King Kong climbs both skyscrapers and stop-motion frontiers. Across the Atlantic, German exile talent and rising Third-Reich censorship cross-current through films like M (Lang) and The Blue Angel (von Sternberg), even as Leni Riefenstahl weaponizes spectacle in Triumph of the Will and Olympia.

French poetic realism drapes fatalism in fog and accordion (L’Atalante, La Grande Illusion, Le Quai des brumes), Britain polishes drawing-room wit (The Lady Vanishes) and proto-noir mood (Night Train to Munich), and Soviet sound thunders in Eisenstein’s Alexander Nevsky. Japan quietly perfects domestic lyricism with Ozu’s I Was Born, But… and Mizoguchi’s early masterworks, while China’s leftist cinema rises with Street Angels.

Technicolor bursts into mythic bloom—first tentative in Becky Sharp (1935), then swashbuckling in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). Animation levels up too: Disney’s Silly Symphonies experiment with color and depth, teeing up the first feature-length animated marvel, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

By decade’s end, the camera has learned how to sing, scream, dance, and dream in full chromatic confidence—setting the stage for Hollywood’s Golden Age just as war clouds gather offscreen.

Under construction and always in progress!!!

This is just for fun (and my personal use/future reference). My humble wish is to see as many as possible such films. What can I say, I *like* girls!

ALL the films with FEMALE first names in/as the title (ONE word only though) I've ever seen. And those I haven't seen yet but would like to.

Caution (for possible readers)! This will take me ages to compile. My memory is faulty (and gettting worse by the day).

From A to Z! (And then in rough chronological order when necessary.)

With my humble rates for the ones I've seen.

Also, films NOT listed at IMDb (as of yet):
