1. Haxan (1922)
2. Faust (1926)
3. The Cameraman (1928)
4. He Who Gets Slapped (1924)
5. Diary of a Lost Girl (1929)
6. The Last Command (1928)
7. The Great White Silence (1924)
8. Pandora’s Box (1929)
9. Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928)
10. The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
11. One Week (1920)
12. The Thief of Bagdad (1924)
13. Metropolis (1927)
14. Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler (1922)
15. The Astronomer’s Dream (1898)
16. Asphalt (1929)
17. The Unknown (1927)
18. The Lodger (1927)
19. The Penalty (1920)
20. The Phantom Carriage (1921)
21. Neighbors (1920)
22. Nosferatu (1922)
23. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
24. Seven Chances (1925)
25. Waxworks (1924)


Those who voted for Trip to the Moon should check out The Astronomer's Dream. A shorter precursor.

My list (MOFO position in brackets)
1. (49). Blackmail 1929
2. (12). Man With a Movie Camera 1929 (arguably a documentary)
3. (26) The Adventures of Prince Achmed 1926
4. (6) The Passion of Joan of Arc 1928
5. (3) Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans 1927
6. (17) Pandora's Box 1929
7. (8) Sherlock Jr 1924
8. (2) The General 1926
9. (10) The Kid 1921
10. (-) The Thief of Bagdad 1924
11. (18) The Phantom Carriage 1921

Only including those I’ve watched in full.

Others I think are impressive but not seen in full:
(43). Way Down East (1920)
(38). The Birth of a Nation (1915)
(36). The Great Train Robbery (1903)
(35). Nanook of the North (1922)
(34). Broken Blossoms (1919)
(1). Metropolis (1927)


My worry with this era is that people might post films they've heard the reputation of, but haven't actually watched. Although maybe that's not the case.
