The Best Movies

Beginning today and for the next several weeks, I will be posting my choices of the best films of the sound era--which, for the sake of this discussion, will be defined as 1930 to the present. I will list my 10 best for year each and a 100 best for each decade. However, the first year for which I saw enough films to even compile a 10-best list was 1934, so I will begin my posting my choices for the 10 best films between 1930 and 1933:
1.  All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
2.  Duck Soup (1933)
3.  Dinner at Eight (1933)
4.  City Lights (1931)
5.  Grand Hotel (1932)
6.  King Kong (1933)
7.  42nd Street (1933)
8.  Trouble in Paradise (1932)
9.  Frankenstein (1931)
10. I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang (1932)

As always, comments and suggestions are encouraged and welcomed.
