Really surprised at the low rating for M. I thought it was a masterpiece and by far the best movie of that year. Only City Lights was close.

FWIW, this was my top 10 for 1931:

1. M (Fritz Lang)
2. City Lights (Charles Chaplin)
3. Miracle Woman (Frank Capra)
4. The Smiling Lieutenant (Ernst Lubitsch)
5. An American Tragedy (Josef Von Sternberg)
6. Dishonored (Josef von Sternberg)
7. Platinum Blonde (Frank Capra)
8. The Public Enemy (William Wellman)
9. Little Caesar (Mervyn LeRoy)
10. The Royal Bed (Lowell Sherman)

As for 1932, I would definitely recommend adding Trouble in Paradise to your watch list.
