Not as much surprised as pleased. Birth of a Nation is one film that's been controversial for 90 years, and probably will be for another 90 years. Intolerance is in my opinion a far better film, and for my money the best silent film ever made. Pauline Kael actually cited it as the greatest film ever, and she hated everything. I'd say it was a smart move, and one that will raise far less eyebrows. Now if Hollywood could figure out how to give To Kill a Mockingbird a special Oscar every single year I'm sure they would. That's a film like Shawshank Redemption that I initially liked that I grow to despise the more other people like it.

I'll get a list together probably this week. Its hard to do so without my database of films.
