Directed by Sergei Eisenstein

A protest strike aboard the Battleship Potemkin when the crew are given rotten meat ends in a full scale revolution, the sailors raise the Red Flag and try to rally support in their home port of Odessa.

Not a movie that touches the heart though it remains a masterpiece of propaganda and creative editing. The Odessa Steps sequence in particular is a crucial part of film history taking montage as far as it could go, arguably Eisenstein took it too far in his next film October in which technique sometimes overrides a watchable narrative.
