What does this have to do with SUNRISE?

That's a pretty slim connection. You're basically saying that it has nothing to do with Sunrise. You might as well have posted it on the "classic films" board, where such trite listmaking still seems to be in vogue.

I'm making a joke on the part of someone who thought they were clever.

What's there to defend? My honor? Hardly anything, really. It's just the internet, not my resumé.

All I'm promoting is perhaps a little more discussion about Murnau's SUNRISE, rather than a "pantheon of iconoclasts", a pompous term that's just hiding the fact that this is just another trite, "list your favorites" thread.

I merely tell it how it is. If you find that to be a bad attitude, all I can apologize for is my honesty.

I'll gladly post something about SUNRISE when I can think about something to say about the film that's original. I'm certainly open to discussing any aspect of it that someone brings up before me.

How is it possible no one has mentioned Chaplin? Ridiculous. Anyway, here's a personal list, approximately in order.

Alfred Hitchcock
Charles Chaplin
Billy Wilder
Sergio Leone
Jean Renoir
Orson Welles
Coen Brothers
Woody Allen
Akira Kurosawa
D.W. Griffith

Someone thinks Cecille B DeMille is the greatest ever? Weird...
