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...

L'Age d'Or (Age of Gold)

  3. 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.
