As you'll quickly notice here I haven't watched a lot of movies made prior to 1940. I've seen many from the 1930s (mostly due to Universal's horror movies & the Marx Bros.), but even less from prior to 1930. So at this point in time splitting them up into separate lists seems like a waste. I'm currently working on catching up on films from these decades, so if/when I reach a point where I can justify this list being split up I'll do so.

Update: The 1940s films now have their own list, and have thus been removed from this one.
