1930's Best Movies: 90 Years Later

Still haven't seen Earth!

This would likely be All Quiet on the Western Front for me anyway, but I still need to see the Cocteau, the Murnau and The Blue Angel.

L'Age D'Or always and forever without reflection

mia:

ANIMAL CRACKERS
ANOTHER FINE MESS
THE DAWN PATROL
LITTLE LISE
TOMATOS ANOTHER DAY
LILIOM (Borzage)

laugh once in awhile!

Morocco is funny!

MURDER!
HELL'S ANGELS
THE BIG TRAIL

mighta heard of these guys

I'd also include:

Liliom
Animal Crackers

Big Trail was in 70mm, y'know

Oh great--El Brendel in widescreen.

Conspicuously absent: Yamekraw; The Unholy Three.

Also, the 1930 version of Liliom is fatally flawed by featuring Charles Farrell, who was ludicrously out of his depth as a playboy carnie. Charles Boyer in the 1934 version looked like Jean Gabin by comparison.

L'Age d'Or is funny tbf

oh top level

And, look, I voted for a comedy!

Bump.

Morocco

To contrast with the letterboxd top 12:

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939, Capra, 4.0)
The Wizard of Oz (1939, Fleming, 4.0)

voted for The Blood of a Poet

i'm surprised by the omission of L'ATALANTE, as well as M and CITY LIGHTS, already mentioned.

among the options it's between two very different films: EARTH and DER BLAUE ENGEL

poll is of films from the year 1930, not 1930s films, I was confused by that too

OOOOOOOH

geez i feel like a dork

If I hadn't voted L'Age D'Or I'm guessing I would've chosen The Blood of a Poet.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Buñuel -- the Al Green of film makers.

Was Al Green a martini fan?

i assume Alfred meant "beloved by everybody but monsters"
