It disturbs me that I'm the only one so far to vote for Feuillade's serial. Seriously.

anything besides the 5 or 6 staples for early cinema has no chance in this poll. There will be a lot of ties at the bottom of the top10...

It's true. Chaplin fans should give the shorts I listed a shot. At least give The Immigrant and The Adventurer a shot. Both are really great.

I can actually post a list for this era thanks to a film class I took freshmen year. Cool.
1. Shoulder Arms(1918) 2. Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl(1919) 3. A Trip to the Moon(1902) And I have seen The Great Train Robbery, but I don't really care for it all that much.

I'm sick, so I will offer 10 rep points to the first person to volunteer to complete this. You must use the same formatting that we have used in previous threads. Please do not cut corners. Films should have at least ten points. Films that have less than ten points may be OK if they were mentioned by at least three people. If there are not ten films that meet these requirements, please list a Top 9 or Top 8, etc.
