My attempt at a comprehensive list of feature-length and short sound films produced in America between 1930 and July 1934 (plus others included on pre-code.com, and Wikipedia's and Letterboxd's Pre-Code film lists).

Wallace Beery, Leila Hyams, and Chester Morris in The Big House (1930)

US movies from 1930 (second year of the "pre-code" era of 1929-1934) which are listed as lost on IMDB. Many of these films have user ratings and reviews. The mere existence of reviews didn't cause a film to be excluded from this list. Some reviews could be from people who saw the film before it was lost. On the other hand, some reviews seem based not on actually having seen the movie, but on something the reviewer has read elsewhere, or that the reviewer does/doesn't like an actor/the director, doesn't like old movies, or whatever, and wants to chime in based on that. And frankly, some reviews I have read come across as fabrications ("I had an exclusive showing of this otherwise lost film in the home of a private collector").
