Went for Intolerance, Battleship Potemkin, City Lights, M, and Great Train Robbery here. Toughest to leave out were All Quiet on the Western Front, & Animal Crackers (of all things !)

Voted for 3 that I've seen, if that's ok. That's ok, Arjan. The reason why I often insist on voting for a specific number of nominees is to avoid tactical voting. If I want for example to see Chris Evert inducted in a tennis HOF it would be very clever of me to just vote for Evert and not for Court, Goolagong, Navratilova, Graf or any of the others because than I would also be voting for the competition. But that's not the case here, so I'm ok with it.  |

Two add-ons to my previous post:
INTOLERANCE
BEN HUR (1926) (caveat: Roman Navarro isn't quite as safe a chariot driver as Charlton Heston would be 33 years later [LOL[)

Quote by jhar26:
A word on BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN: Eisenstein pioneered the technique of "montage" with that film, especially in the Odessa Steps sequence. Practically any big-name American filmmaker of the post-WW II period has worked with montage, but the film where I think it was at its best since POTEMKIN was in director Sam Peckinpah's epic and extremely violent 1969 action/western classic THE WILD BUNCH.
