Missed these on Criticker, so I added them myself. Hope someone else will find some good films to watch in the lists as well.

So I picked one at random, The Battle of Elderbush Gulch (1913). "Summary: Drunken red Indians carouse in pagan revelry, whipping up their appetite for dog meat. In search of supper, a party of Indians attempts to kidnap the pets of some nearby pioneers. The settlers shoot the Indians which instigates a war. Will the isolated town of settlers survive the onslaught of the savages long enough for the cavalry to arrive? (imdb)
Another D.W. Griffith effort; prequel to Birth of a Nation no doubt.
Somebody PLEASE explain how this fits to any any of that, or anything at all:
But then I didn't even apply to Harvard.

Ahh, Griffith, the maker of both Intolerance: Love's Struggle Through the Ages and the most racist crap in cinema history.
Seems like a film I want to see, not because it would be good, but because it would insightful in historical and anthropoligical senses. Geussing that is the reason why it is on the list.
The poster was likely just a way to shock people to the cinema.
