The series of the Charlie Chan films starring Warner Oland were probably the strongest films in the Charlie Chan series. Sidney Toler made several good films also but eventually the series would become low-budget “B” films produced by Monogram Pictures. Charlie Chan hemlighet (1936) (affiliate länk) was one of the earlier Twentieth-Century Fox films about Charlie Chan. The production values
The Black Camel (1931) is the oldest surviving Charlie Chan film (affiliate länk) starring Warner Oland. Det var den andra filmen i serien för Fox Films. Den första, tredje, fjärde och femte film går förlorade, även om en spansk språkversion av Charlie Chan bedriver (Tretton var, 1931) existerar. The Black Camel was released on June 21, 1931.

I did not know who the man was. Chang Apana was that man. Chang Apana (born Ah Ping Chang) December 26, 1871 on the island of Oahu was
Charlie Chan på vaxmuseum (1940) starring Sidney Toler som Charlie Chan är min favorit Charlie Chan-film. Charlie Chan söker efter en mördare i ett vax museum.

Tretton var (1931) är den spanska versionen av Charlie Chan bedriver. Charlie Chan bedriver har inte överlevt, eller åtminstone har inte hittats ännu, so this film (affliliate link) gives us our only look at the lost film. While it was based on the same story, the film had a completely different cast. Charlie Chan does

This movie is the first in a series (affiliate länk) of six films from Monogram Pictures released between 1938 och 1940. The series was a “B” formula film offering. The film would have been shown first on a double bill. The first five films starred Boris Karloff as Mr. James Lee Wong, while in the sixth film Keye Luke portrayed
Max Linder (1883-1925) byggde Pathe "Film Studio i början av 1900. Linder’s comedy influenced Charles Chaplin, Harold Lloyd och Buster Keaton. Linder is largely unknown today because his biggest film successes were in the 1910s. Most of his films are considered lost. Film fans today have the benefit of resources like the Internet Archive, which has a number of
Vad som händer är den första kommersiellt framgångsrika konstfilm (affiliate länk). Det kabinett av Dr. Caligari (1920) släpptes i januari 1920 bli en tysk och internationell sensation. It marked the beginning of a German film revival during the 1920s The German Expressionist Movement in German art strongly influenced this film.

Även om den kanske inte finns på klassiska filmlistor, I love The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934) (affiliate länk). It is an adaptation of the novel (affiliate länk) med samma namn, skriven av Catherine Orczy.
