The strange and wonderful movie, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. It is the first cult movie, the start of the horror genre, and a very good film as well. 

D.W. Griffith's follow up to The Birth of a Nation was an even more ambitious movie. Intolerance is arguably the most influential flop of all time.  

This amazing movie was the forerunner of the detective movie and the thriller. It has a haunting, otherworldly quality. In this episode, I discuss the French film serial, Les Vampires. 

The most important and controversial movie of all time. It's time to talk The Birth of a Nation.

Edwin S. Porter's innovative use of cross cutting created an intensity and urgency that we still see in movies today. This is where the Western genre begins. 

Georges Melies was a cinema pioneer. A Trip to the Moon is where movies really begin.
