Only four list-worthy films this time...

1. All Quiet on the Western Front (Lewis Milestone)
2. Journey's End (James Whale)
3. Earth (Alexander Dovzhenko)
4. The Blue Angel (Josef von Sternberg)

1930 (as also 1929) was, in very large part, a quite clunky, far less than amazing or exciting, year for movies. Fortunately, certain 1930 productions - mainly those featuring top stars, thus gone about to the most innovative, highest standard, and with the greatest budget - do "work".

My ten 1930 faves (listed alphabetically):

• All Quiet on the Western Front
• Anna Christie (English language version)
• Anna Christie (German language version, with entirely different cast, other than Garbo again being the star)
• The Dawn Patrol
• The Devil to Pay!
• The Divorcee
• Raffles
• Hell's Angels
• Romance
• Son of the Gods
