1937
Number of Movies I've Seen: 2
Number of Movies from my original top 365: 0
Oscar Winner:
The Life of Emile Zola - Another one that I fully intend on watching when it is on TCM.
Box Office Winner:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - (PICTURED ABOVE) It's the first animated feature. Every frame is a work of art (both literally and figuratively). It gave birth to an entire industry and one of the most dominant corporate entities in modern society. It's pretty hard to say something that hasn't already been said about Walt Disney's brilliant leap of faith. That being said......
My Top Ten:
1. A Day at the Races - I simply couldn't bring myself to put another Marx brother's masterpiece in 2nd place. For every reason Snow White is the groundbreaking masterpiece that it is, I can think of three reasons I'd rather watch a Marx brothers movie. This one doesn't get as much love as Duck Soup or A Night at the Opera, but I really think it shows the brother's "maturity" (in filmmaking at least). This movie is so much fun, and, as I've said before, represents a peak of comedic cinema that has never been matched.
2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
