Note: It's simple and straightforward: the best films of the decade in cinema history for 1910s. In order to be considered, the films must have been released any time from 1910 to 1919 according to IMDb. Multiple parts (i.e. duology, trilogy, etc.) can be put together as one if there's a continuation in the narrative. Miniseries and telefilms are fair game, but documentaries are excluded.

These films have made the cut because they have shown brilliance in most, if not all, aspects: acting, characters, screenplay, plot, direction, editing, cinematography, and so on. They must also be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Then, I think about cultural phenomenon, uniqueness, famous movie moments, iconic scenes and/or lines, cinematic power, and timelessness.

This list is based on what I have seen so far and is limited to the top 10 with 5, if any, honorable mentions in that order. Unfortunately, there's only one film on the list which is The Birth of a Nation. It's because cinema was in the infant stage.

Honorable Mentions: None
