I agree with Rick on this...their golden oldies.. the ones I may have on old VHS, a few DVDs, or saw somewhere on TCM, PBS, (or eguivalent) have been from the Thirties, for the most part. The scary movies...horror/dramas we saw, maybe first as kids likely on early TV...Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy, Black Cat, etc that we still enjoy today, some 70+ years later have remarkable lasting power, like Flash Gordon from yesteryear many of us also enjoy. Rick's hard work on this site nicely combines such classic material admirably. Thank you.

I also have to agree, the 1930s had the best films.
The 1940s were mainly B movies, and they are highly enjoyable, but they don't compare with Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frank, The Mummy, Invisible Man, etc. The 1940s exception would be "The Wolf Man."
