Here is a long list of movies that I could watch for 1935. Here's the list be category (movies that are bold will definitely make the cut)

Mutiny on the Bounty (Winner)
Alice Adams
Broadway Melody of 1936
Captain Blood
David Copperfield
The Informer
The Lives of Bengal Lancer
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Les Misérables

The Scoundrel (Best Original Story)
The Gold Diggers of 1935 (Best Song)
The Dark Angel (Best Art Direction)

Available on Criterion Channel (and IMDB voters give it a 7.0 or higher)
The 39 Steps
If You Could Only Cook
The Whole Town's Talking
Toni
Carnival in Flanders
And Inn in Tokyo

Japanese Movies (that I found on Youtube)
Sazen Tange and the Pot Worth a Million Ryo (Yamanaka Sadao)
Wife! Be Like a Rose! (Naruse Mikio)
Maria no Oyuki (Mizoguchi Kenji)
Poppy (Mizoguchi Kenji)
A Girl in the Rumour (Naruse Mikio)
Saakasu Goningumi (Naruse Mikio)
The Actress and the Poet (Naruse Mikio)

Other Foreign Movies
New Women (China)
National Customs (China)
The New Gulliver (Russia)
Triumph of the Will (Nazi Germany)

Other (here because of genre or top grossing)
China Seas
Roberta
Anna Karenina
A Tale of Two Cities
Bride of Frankenstein
A Night at the Opera
Werewolf of London
The Irish in Us
Crime and Punishment
The Little Colonel
G Men

...and I have to stop somewhere so that'll be it, unless someone thinks I really should add another movie. There are 40+ here with 9 that have pre-made the cut. Some or all of the Japanese and the rest of the foreign movies will unofficially "make the cut" only because I plan on watching them all anyway outside of this dynasty. If I don't get to them before the year is done, I'll move on "officially".
