Poll: Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary 1940s Movies

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​On April 4, 2023, Warner Bros. Entertainment celebrates the 100th anniversary of its founding as Warner Bros. in 1923. It released its first film, Where the North Begins (1923), starring Rin Tin Tin, a few months later. Over the next century, Warner Bros. would go on to become one of the original "Big Five" studios and still holds the distinction today as a current "Big Five" member. Its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery is an international conglomerate with a foothold in all facets of entertainment and a nearly 25% global market share. As a result of its hundred-year effort, the WB movie catalog currently includes a whopping 12,500+ feature films.​​​​​​​​​
