===London Films===
Korda then decided to form his own company. In 1932 he founded [[London Films]]. Its first production was ''[[Wedding Rehearsal]]'' (1932). He then produced ''[[Men of Tomorrow (1932 film)|Men of Tomorrow]]'' (1932), co-directed by his brother [[Zoltan Korda]], ''[[That Night in London]]'' (1932) starring [[Robert Donat]], ''[[Strange Evidence]]'' (1933), ''[[Counsel's Opinion]]'' (1933), and ''[[Cash (1933 film)|Cash]]'' (1933).

====''The Private Life of Henry VIII''====
Korda had a huge hit with ''[[The Private Life of Henry VIII]]'' (1933), which he directed. It was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Picture]], established Korda internationally and made a star of [[Charles Laughton]].

====After ''The Private Life of Henry VIII''====
Korda followed it with ''[[The Girl from Maxim's]]'' (1933), which he shot in English and French. He tried to repeat the success of ''Henry'' with ''[[The Private Life of Don Juan]]'' (1934) starring [[Douglas Fairbanks]], which he directed, and ''[[The Rise of Catherine the Great]]'' (1934) which he did not. Neither did as well as ''Henry''.

Korda produced a well-respected short, ''[[The Private Life of the Gannets]]'' (1934), and enjoyed a big success as producer of ''[[The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934 film)|The Scarlet Pimpernel]]'' (1934). Also popular was ''[[Sanders of the River]]'' (1935) starring [[Paul Robeson]] and directed by his brother, and ''[[The Ghost Goes West]]'' (1936) starring Donat. His other credits as producer include ''[[Moscow Nights (1935 film)|Moscow Nights]]'' (1936) with [[Laurence Olivier]], ''[[Men Are Not Gods]]'' (1936), and ''[[Forget Me Not (1936 film)|Forget Me Not]]'' (1936).

Korda directed ''[[Rembrandt (1936 film)|Rembrandt]]'' (1936) with Laughton, which was a critical rather than a commercial success. ''[[Things to Come]]'' (1936), directed by [[William Cameron Menzies]], has come to be regarded as a classic. It was written by [[H. G. Wells]] and Korda's ''[[The Man Who Could Work Miracles]]'' (1936) is based on a Wells short story. Korda also commissioned and financed the documentary ''[[Conquest of the Air]]'' (1936).
