My Favorites from 1930 – 1939<\/strong><\/p>\n

I won\u2019t make any claims other than these are the movies from the 1930\u2019s that I like best.\u00a0 And without trying I could add a whole bunch more (see the runners up list below).\u00a0 People say that 1939 was Hollywood\u2019s greatest year.\u00a0 Based on my tastes I\u2019d say 1934 was the high point.<\/p>\n
