20. Arrowsmith (1931)
Arrowsmith is a brilliant pre-Code movie that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture (as well as Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography).
It’s about a medical researcher who gets sent to a bubonic plague outbreak in the West Indies, where he has to decide priorities for the use of a vaccine.
It was adapted from from Sinclair Lewis’ 1925 novel of the same name and remains one of the better movies of its kind, in spite of its age.
