Sunrise
Silent films were never my favorite when going through the list the first time. I found them long and a bit tedious. However, this film was really engaging and beautifully done. I can't help but think talking might actually have sullied it up a bit. The director F.W. Murnau was a leading German Expressionism and that style, the distorted images, the symbolism, were so apparent in the film. What I thought was so really interesting is how it really seemed like a fairy tale come to life, like the film industry was exploring what types of stories to tell. I'd highly recommend it, especially if you're interested in early film.
