But I digress. As with the later decades, the top 1930s films also have very small differences between them in their overall ratings. You will remember that the overall ranking is made up of a film rating and a DVD presentation rating. Both of these components for the top 1930s films were similar in value to those of the 1940s. A closer look at the DVD presentation component does show one distinction though.
Sound quality is much the same.
Focusing first on the top 25 of the 1930s, we have new leaders for the studios with the most releases. Universal is first with six titles and Columbia is second with five. These results reflect these studios' commitment to delivering top-flight DVD efforts on their older catalog gems. Criterion, on the other hand, slipped to being tied for fourth with Image, each with three releases. Here then are the top ten classic films on DVD for the 1930s.
