In addition to the great movies each of you listed, I'd like to mention Love Affair (Irene Dunne, Charles Boyer, Maria Ouspenskaya) and Midnight (Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, John Barrymore, Francis Lederer, Mary Astor) as a couple other 1939 favourites.

In my humble opinion, 1939 was the year for classic cinema, particularly American cinema.
Spot No. 10 is a toss-up between Ninotchka and Midnight.
