from the 20's and 30's, I'd mention...
Nosferatu
Phantom of the Opera
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
King Kong
Frankenstein
Freaks
Couldn't really name any movie that was "most" influential because it's a continuum...We wouldn't have NOTLD had not other stuff come before it and paved the way, for example. We wouldn't have had Star Wars without Flash Gordon and King Kong, etc. But it's nice to make lists of things that were ALL influential in their own individual ways...
