Sunrise
Aka "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans". This exquisite silent film is just as powerful today as when it was made, telling the simple story of a farmer who plans to murder his wife led on by another woman. A triumph of direction, camera-work, art direction and performances, all hauntingly beautiful. Named 'greatest film of all time' in a recent French critics poll.
