The Birth of a Nation
Almost a century after its release, The Birth of a Nation remains one of the most controversial films ever made... a landmark achievement of filmmaking that undeniably demonstrates the deep roots of America's racist history.
Broken Blossoms
The heartbreaking story of a waterfront waif (Lillian Gish) from the Limehouse district of London who escapes the abuse of her father (Donald Crisp) through a doomed relationship with a Chinese immigrant (Richard Barthelmess).
Intolerance (Griffith Masterworks)
D.W. Griffith had a vision of the movies as the greatest spiritual force the world had ever known. Just one year after the huge success of THE BIRTH OF A NATION, he was emboldened to prove his faith in the new medium with the superproduction INTOLERANCE.
Orphans of the Storm
Two delicate souls (Lillian and Dorothy Gish) are caught in the tempest of the French Revolution.
Sally Of The Sawdust
W. C. Fields stars as a lovable con man who becomes the unlikely guardian of an orphaned circus waif (Carol Dempster).
Way Down East
Griffith billed this film as a "simple tale of plain people." This modest remark does little to convey the scale and significance of one of this director's most ambitious works and his most popular after Birth of a Nation.
