Thomas Edison's Frankenstein was like fifteen minutes long or something. Kinda like my movies to have a beginning, plot development, then a conclusion. That was more of a 'let's see if this works' screen test than a movie to me though it probably was pretty important.
edit for the Nosferatu thing - I still don't consider something that's less than at least half an hour, no matter how old it is a movie.
