I know some of us can go for 20, 20, or even a full 100, but lets make it so that nearly everyone can submit a list. Take your ten favorites, and try to rank them. Just so we are in agreement, Sunrise, City Lights, and Modern Times are all silent films despite having syched soundtracks.
1. Intolerance (1916)
2. Napoleon (1927)
3. Man With the Movie Camera (1929)
4. Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928)
5. City Lights (1931)
6. The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)
7. Sunrise: A Story of Two Humans (1927)
8. Variety (1925)
9. The Birth of a Nation
10. Metropolis (1927)
I also love For Heaven's Sake, Battleship Potemkin, The General Line, Zvenigora, The Gold Rush, The Circus, The General, Sherlock Jr., The Navigator, Die Nibelungen, The Wedding March, and Faust.
