BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN ! THE WIND !

Some essential choices by Bob !

THE GENERAL might be the greatest film yet made.
I just watched THE KID on TCM the other night. No prolbemo. I love CHARLIE CHAPLIN and that film especially! THE GOLD RUSH is another favorite!

Nobody mentioned BROKEN BLOSSOMS (1919)? I guess not since it's before the 1920s...
So nobody mentioned SUNRISE (1927)?
