I voted for The Jazz Singer, Metropolis, Birth of a Nation, The Gold Rush and Wings
to be honest I would have preferred City Lights over The Gold Rush and would have nominated it but got busy elsewhere and by time I got back nominations had closed, but that's cool.
there's always next time.

City Lights is from 1931, Ron.

Another tough challenge. I went w. Intolerance, Battleship Potemkin, Birth of A Nation, Metropolis and Pandora's Box. Toughest to leave off Wings, Nosferatu & Passion de Jeanne'Arc. I included Metropolis coz so forward looking for sci fi & and the expressionistic vision/look, and Pandora's Box as a really extraordinary film in both style and subject matter, esp. for the time. & also somewhat akin to Cabinet of Dr. Caligari which we all forgot in style. Plus Louise Brooks really was a hottie . The other three films to me just too important to ignore. |

I don't think I would have been surprised by whichever films were chosen.
In terms of METROPOLIS--as unquestionably crude as it must look today, it was probably as ambitious a sci-fi/fantasy film as would ever be made in the cinema, at least until Stanley Kubrick unleashed 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (a film that METROPOLIS director Fritz Lang claimed to admire quite a great deal) on an unsuspecting public in 1968.
