'Sunrise'

Blech. More silent films. This one boring.

Despite it being a critical favorite, Sunrise was a flop. It forced producers to put F.W. Murnau on a leash for his next several movies.

Sunrise was also released right after The Jazz Singer, the first talkie. Sunrise is kind of the swan song for an incredibly overrated and boring time for filmmaking.
