This may seem like a bit of a cheat, or worse yet, defeating the purpose of this poll, but in preparing my list I disqualified an additional 25 canonical works that I felt confident were already acknowledged as such. Had I not, 25 titles from my list above would have to be eliminated to accommodate the following:

STEAMBOAT BILL, JR. (1928) Buster Keaton

MOROCCO (1930) Josef von Sternberg

LA CHIENNE (1931) Jean Renoir

I WAS BORN, BUT... (1932) Ozu Yasujiro
