Submit your five favorite films from these years and in a week I will give you a top ten. IMDb dates will be used.

The point system is as follows

1st Place-5 points
2nd Place-4 points
3rd Place-3.5 points
4th Place-3 points
5th Place-2.5 points

There will be no restrictions on short films. A minimum of three films must be listed. You may edit your post freely up until the time that the thread is locked, which will be in about a week. I will give at least 24 hours warning before tallying votes.

You may begin now.

I feel like we already did this time period. Oh well. And damnit I'm one film too short. Sadly I've still seen too little from the 1920s.

Yes you should. I know with Gance, Lang, Murnau, Griffith etc. out there this might be unpopular, but I think Sjöström is my favorite dramatic director of the silent age. I still have lots to see by all mentioned, so this might change over time.

I've never known / to mean "through" and all these dates and numbers are confusing to me. I have enough trouble keeping my diabeetus meds in order and Liberty makes it easy.
