D. W. Griffith - Broken Blossoms (1919)

Considered by many the most poetic, profoundly resonant American silent film. The story of a young girl, brutalized by her father, who takes refuge with a kind (but sexless) man in London's Chinatown still has the power to shock and distress.
(The other sections of the film are also available on YouTube.)
