D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance

I looked it up and wow, I didn't realize that movies were already so big in 1916.

That was pretty much the year movies became that big; Griffith's Birth of a Nation, released the previous year, more or less revolutionized the filmmaking process and near-singlehandedly codified long-form cinema as we know it today. Of course it also made the KKK the good guys, so, you know, some aspects coulda been better.
