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.

The is the early animated feature using silhouette technique, right? The clips I've seen on YouTube were very cool.

Yup, that's the one. It's a cool little film and they manage to keep the technique interesting throughout. I think it was released on DVD last year, so it's worth checking out for something different.

Search for "Ménilmontant 1926" on youtube. It's in 4 parts and under 40 minutes. Of course - not the best way to see it.

I refuse to click on your links. It's probably pointing to some Uwe Boll interview.

The Marx Brothers one is.

There is a Laurel and Hardy film by that name that I suppose they could be voting for.

It has one of the greatest axe murders in the history of cinema. That's all you need to know.
