I watched Mother (1926) on Saturday -- my first Pudovkin -- and was very pleasantly surprised. It has the striking imagery that I've come to expect from the early Soviet films, but it's a much more human film that, say, Eisenstein's, which have always felt a bit like intellectual exercises to me.

Edit: Oops. Turns out Mother isn't on the S&S list. Never mind. Still a great film, though.
