Belongs here: American and other English-language studio productions recognized as landmarks of that tradition, including early sound-era firsts. Does not belong here: films from national film industries and movements outside the English-language studio tradition, grouped under world and international narrative cinema, or documentary and animated films, each grouped separately by form regardless of studio origin.
