Here we go - the first set of films from the 1890s, through the 1900s, 10s and the 20's, until 1929.

I have deliberately omitted those films which did not get any votes on IMDB from 1920 to 1929.

For the period of 1890-1919, I have kept out those films which got less than 100 votes, since most of those films are fantasy shorts made by George Melies and other vintage masters.

That's better for me I would probably want to re-edit the ones I previously chose anyway. Another quick question-can I include L'inferno/Dante's Inferno (1911 Short)? I would class it as horror just as much as the 20s version already on your list.

Sure. It's listed under Adventure/Drama/Fantasy on IMDB so maybe it skipped the master list I generated. It's a full length feature as well (first full length feature from Italy).

In fact, I will add it to the Master List now. Good rec.

Thanks I wasn't sure if it was classed as a full length feature or a short (but certinly NOT a drama I don't know why IMDB would have it as that-nothing dramatic happens in it) but I'll try to narrow my choices down to 20-won't be easy

The Sealed Room probably deserves a place on the list too.... D.W. Griffith short loosely based on The Cask of Amontillado. Another one that falls into the Drama category on IMDb but has plenty of gothic horror elements and is a good early example of tension and suspense.

Also wanted to add that alot of these old movies are readily avaliable on youtube and pretty decent quality, so well worth checking out for those that haven't seen them.... Still got a few slots to fill on my top 20, but should be done in the next day or so. :cool:

Totally agree. Do check them out on youtube, vimeo, dailymotion and other channels if you haven't seen them yet.

Eagerly waiting to see your choices, Straker!
