Overall, an okay year for the movies.

The Good - A Story of Floating Weeds was the best movie I've seen since 1928, when both Speedy and Steamboat Bill Jr got 9s from me. The Thin Man was great and I really enjoyed Street Without End.

The Bad - But it was a drop off from there. the 4th best movie in 1934 gets just a 6 from me, and half of the movies I watched got a 5 or worse.

The Silver Lining - But the worse grade I gave out for the year was a 4. None of the movies from this year were nearly as bad as Cavalcade (1933) or A Farewell to Arms (1932). So 1934 had one of the best silent movies every made, a really funny comedy, another really good silent movie and a whole bunch of movies that were just between "meh" to "it was...good, I guess".
