Don't click this. Mods delete please.
This is a thread for the review, discussion, and hopefuly the examination of films that you feel have been important to the development of cinema. What about these films have made the artform what it is today. What films have offered new techniques, created conventions, and otherwise helped shaped the artform as we know it today?

Re: Discussion Thread: What films do you feel are most important to cinema.
Despite its controversial subject matter in "The Birth of a Nation", it's really important to the history of cinema.
Also: "To Kill a Mockingbird" "The Godfather"

This thread is the result of the server hating me. Please post in the other thread. If a mod would be kind and delete this one that would make me happy.

Re: Discussion Thread: What films do you feel are most important to cinema.
I would definately say a lot of Orson Welles stuff. The things he did with the camera and the pacing of every scene could almost have you mistake it as a modern film in black and white. I'm not sure about shaping film history, but I'd also like give Nosferatu some creadit. It was one of the few silent films that I've seen that give off a really strong atmosphere. That and Joan of Arc. Those two were definately ahead of their time. I'll be back with more if I can think of some.
