Barbe-bleue (Bluebeard) 1901,  Unrated)
4
Le Voyage dans la lune (A Trip to the Moon) 1902,  Unrated)
Le Voyage dans la lune (A Trip to the Moon)
Delightful, naive fantasy. Charming, poetic images.
5
Life of an American Fireman 1903,  Unrated)
Life of an American Fireman
Epic drama in 6 minutes.
6
The Great Train Robbery 1903,  Unrated)
The Great Train Robbery
So this is how the Western begins... as an impersonal comedy. Or maybe this little movie wasn't meant to be a Western, after all.
7
A Corner in Wheat 1909,  G)
A Corner in Wheat
Uses a variety of technics and orchestrates them beautifully to serve the idea of the film, but more on the emotional than aesthetical level.
8
Le locataire diabolique (The Devilish Tenant) 1909,  Unrated)
9
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz 1910,  Unrated)
10
From the Manger to the Cross (Jesus of Nazareth) 1912,  Unrated)
From the Manger to the Cross (Jesus of Nazareth)
Excessively narrative, loses the essence.
11
The Avenging Conscience: or 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' 1914,  Unrated)
12
Tillie's Punctured Romance 1914,  Unrated)
13
The Birth of a Nation 1915,  G)
The Birth of a Nation
It's too long and the subject fails to attract me at all. However, the acting has some shining moments.
14

15

16

20
Male and Female 1919,  Unrated)
21
Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari. (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) 1920,  Unrated)
Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari. (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari)
An elaborate film, a mystery that grows organically in every gesture, in every detail of Expressionist sets, apparently twisted somewhere towards the end, but the last line... is it so comforting as it seems?!
22
Broken Blossoms 1919,  Unrated)
Broken Blossoms
Beautiful and poetic, but a little depressing.
23
Way Down East 1920,  Unrated)
24
Within Our Gates 1920,  Unrated)
25
Körkarlen (Korkarlen) (The Phantom Carriage) (Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness) 1920,  Unrated)
Körkarlen (Korkarlen) (The Phantom Carriage) (Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness)
Scary... it is not, or at least I assume that depends on the image one already has about death... But in any case it is quite dramatic and impressive.
26
The Golem (Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam) 1920,  Unrated)
The Golem (Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam)
More a tale than a horror movie, to be honest, but a good story very well done, with a strong message (not very safe to play by the God). Really beautiful sets and costumes... just like in a tale!


Jewish issues are an interesting choice, especially in light of the end. I understand that one of them still has that star and the story can restart anytime. It's just my imagination or is read so that they are an extremely powerful and dangerous people, because I have never heard that Jews had used witchcraft?

33
The Smiling Madame Beudet (La Souriante Madame Beudet) 1923,  Unrated)
The Smiling Madame Beudet (La Souriante Madame Beudet)
Madame Beudet is trapped in a marriage that cancels her personality and the film suggests the unfortunate situation of the woman through her husband's brutal gestures: he re-arranges her flowers again and again, he locks the piano, he's mocking her in front of his friend.
I'm not sure if the title is sarcastic (Mrs. Beudet is fundamentally unhappy) or if she smiles her dreams to escape from this marriage.
She would like a divorce, but a better opportunity seems to arise when her husband leaves home, not before playing his favorite joke: suicide with an unloaded gun. She loads the gun, but is then haunted by remorse. Even more, her husband's image follows her in the night dreams.
In the morning, she tries unsuccessfully to remove the bullets from the revolver but her husband changes his mind and heads the gun to her.
