m. teshigahara's "woman in the dunes" (unbelievably claustrophobic)
vera chytilova: "daisies" (the cutting sequence)


everything i have seen by stan brakhage
harry smith's animations.

gance's napoleon is really great.
check out some of meliès' work too. you can find examples on early cinema compilations.
o yeah, and epstein's "fall of the house of usher" is fantastic. 1927 i think as well. just fantastic.
