Holy cow! I just realized A Page of Madness is up for debate.

Okay, so this one really deserves a spot. It's one of the first films, as far as I know, to use a "pure cinema" approach to exploring the subjectivity of madness, creating expressive visual poetry of a distorted and frightening world. With surreal imagery and experimental editing techniques, A Page of Madness is a haunting, insane masterpiece, surely unique in not only its time, but even to this day. I strongly encourage anyone not familiar with the film to watch it on YouTube:

Unfortunately a lo-res copy of a terrible transfer, but even still it's hypnotizing.
It would really be a shame for such an incredible, singular film to be excluded from the list.

I know Roshiq will back me on this one!
