I think the first time I saw the 1927 film Napoleon (directed by Abel Gance) it blew my mind and totally made me reappraise my mindset towards silent film and eventually on filmmaking as a whole.
Other films that blew my mind:
Touch of Evil
Shock Corridor
whichever Busby Berkeley musical I saw first...one of the Golddigger ones, I am sure
