You've seen L'Atalante, that's enough.

I've seen only 4 films from 1934, which is too few for me to feel like in can participate in this.

You've seen It Happened One Night, so you can help preventing L'Atalante from winning when it's time to vote.

nice try troll

I win! I've seen five (not counting shorts). But yeah, "L'Atalante" is the headliner here.

I've apparently seen 79 features from the entire '30s decade. Not my era at all.

[Mochard]

Thought I'd do this. I've seen 17 films from 1934 with an average rating of 6.0.

Sorry Mochard, the deadline had already gone for the nominations.

The shortlist to vote on is here: viewtopic.php?t=2206&

If yours had counted, The Man Who Knew Too Much would've been in Best Film at the expense of The Gay Divorcee, Fred Astaire and Peter Lorre would've made their categories, plus Cleopatra for cinematography and the Hitchcock also for writing.
