5 Off My Head - Siri Says 1930

.
I don't know how often I'll do these posts but I keep feeling the need on Tuesdays, so I guess they're a Tuesday thing. Anyway if you're new what I do is I ask my phone to pick a number between 1 and 100, and then I pick my five favorite movies from the corresponding year. Last week when I did 1975 I complained that our phone kept giving us numbers in the 70s, but I should've kept my big yap shut because this week it gave me a difficult one - 30! The list that follows is very nearly just a list of the only movies I have seen from 1930. (And no, somehow I've never seen All Quiet on the Western Front.) Anyway here goes, my Five "Favorite" Movies of 1930...

(dir. Josef von Sternberg)
-- released April 1st, 1930 --

L'Age d'Or (Age of Gold)
(dir. Luis Buñuel)
-- released November 28th, 1930--

Murder!
(dir. Alfred Hitchcock)
-- released November 24th, 1930 --

The Divorcee
(dir. Robert Z. Leonard)
-- released April 19th, 1930 --

Morocco

Some terrific films. My five would be All Quiet on the Western Front, Morocco, Madame Satan, Hell's Angels and Paid-one of Joan Crawford's better early talkies.
