F.W. Murnau's "The Last Laugh" is really impressive. The camera movement is amazing considering that narrative film was in its infancy.

Greed by Erich Von Stroheim is another good one. OP, you should make a Classic Films thread.

I was actually gonna say Nosferatu but I gave Metropolis a slight edge due to the amazing effects for its time. Battleship Potemkin is another one I like too.

Our Hospitality
The fukking waterfall stunt is almost 100 years old.

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
The advances in camerawork by Murnau were incredible.

Safety Last
Perhaps the most iconic single image in silent movie history
