LIVE POLL: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 100th Anniversary 1930s Movies

In 2024, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) celebrates the 100th anniversary of its founding on April 17, 1924. MGM was formed by combining three existing studios: Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures and Louis B. Mayer Pictures into one major studio. Louis B. Mayer was tapped to lead the newly formed MGM, with 24-year-old wunderkind Irving Thalberg appointed as its head of production. MGM quickly established itself as one of Hollywood's most prestigious studios, known for the quality of their film offerings, their commercial success and for having "more stars than there are in heaven."


Which of these select Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced by and/or presented by films released between 1930 and 1939 is MGM's greatest accomplishment during this period?

@dan_dassow​, Sorry about that. You should be able to create a poll for this topic, but using the same info set up.under a different list number: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls540238151/.

It is really odd that list number turned out to associated with an existing poll. I didn't repurpose it intentionally though. I can only assume that I was using that list as a guide for the MGM version and I got mixed up. I have about 300 old poll ideas that are private and I am up against the list limit. So, I usually have to delete one of these old idea lists, if I want to create a new idea list.

WB poll list

I corrected the problem by recreating the WB poll list using the existing list number associated with it. However, I doubt it will ever need to re-push it in the future, since the list already has 35 options and it is a title list.

MGM poll list

I moved the MGM content and info to a new list. I also updated the info posted above on the thread, so it corresponds to that new list number @ https://www.imdb.com/list/ls540238151/.

Please change "Poll Suggestion" to "Live Poll" in the discussion thread title and change the settings so that it appears under "Praise" now, rather than "Idea."
