No I don't think so.
It's just 20th century

Not if you're saying "twentieth century" by itself (as a noun). For example, "Automobiles were revolutionized in the twentieth century."
It's when you're using it adjectivally that you want to think about hyphens. "That movie is a great commentary on twentieth-century morality." If it's an adjective (modifies a noun), you want to make sure it's clear that "twentieth century" goes together (e.g., it could be misread without the hyphen as "twentieth century-morality," which is confusing.)
Hope that helps! :)
