THE CROWD (1928)
A surprisingly modern silent film about the terror of not being special.
UN CHIEN ANDALOU (1929)

DIE BÜCHSE DER PANDORA (1929)
A rediscovered silent classic featuring an iconic central performance by Louise Brooks as its doomed heroine
TABU: A STORY OF THE SOUTH SEAS (1931)
This curiosity of a movie featuring only native actors from Bora-Bora turned out to be F.W. Murnau’s final film.
GREED (1924)
A movie that has gone down in cinema legend as a partially lost masterpiece, which I today found more interesting than entertaining.
THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915)

SHOES (1916)
A very early drama about the effects of poverty from the first famous female director.
LE VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE (1902)

MODERN TIMES (1936)
