Scott’s desire to tell people what movies to watch knows no bounds. He’s decided to create a series on here devoted to profiling directors and creating guides to their films. This week’s director is… D.W. Griffith.

Highly recommended: Intolerance, Broken Blossoms, Way Down East, Orphans of the Storm

Recommended: The Lonely Villa (short film), The Country Doctor (short film), A Corner in Wheat (short film), The Painted Lady (short film), The Musketeers of Pig Alley (short film), Death’s Marathon (short film), True Heart Susie, Isn’t Life Wonderful

Worth a look: Those Awful Hats (short film), At the Altar (short film), A Drunkard’s Reformation (short film), Lady Helen’s Escapade (short film), The Mended Lute (short film), The Unchanging Sea (short film), A Child of the Ghetto (short film), The Lonedale Operator (short film), For His Son (short film), The Girl and Her Trust (short film), The Old Actor (short film), The Mothering Heart (short film), The Avenging Conscience, The Struggle

Approach with caution: The Birth of a Nation (should only be watched for historical purposes, has no value otherwise)

Not recommended: Abraham Lincoln

Next week’s director is… Luchino Visconti!!
