Although I haven’t seen that many films from the year, it was difficult to cut down to twenty. I had to leave off several films I like just as much as those I’ve chosen. A good year indeed.

The Passion of Joan of Arc (Dreyer, France)
Un Chien Andalou (Bunuel, France)
Inflation (Richter, Germany)
Race Symphony (Richter, Germany)
The Life and Death of 9413, A Hollywood Extra (Robert Florey/Slavko Vorkapich, US)
Dates don’t always match up from site to site and source to source….
Hope I’m not too late. :)

I don’t know too many films from 1928. I was just an amoeba back then.
