Quote:
I had 'Birth of a Nation' on the list initially but left it off in the final analysis... Films like the Griffith classic (1918?), Fritz Lang's films (Metropolis (1929), M (1930), etc., from the earliest periods in cinema (pre-Depression) are difficult to include on popular lists. 'Triumph of the Will', and all of Leni Reifenstahl's work has a whole other set of issues that I won't address here. All of the these are perhaps best placed on a list of Most Important Films or Most Influential Films. "M" is one of the greatest films you'll ever see and has been liberally drawn from for decades. See "Dark City" as soon as you can if you appreciate German Existential film...
