Whoops, on my list I somehow had To Be or Not to Be listed under the year 1947 instead of 1942, so I replaced it with Black Narcissus. Then I also had Metropolis under 1926 instead of 1927 and Passion of Joan of Arc 1927 instead of 1928. Once I fixed these, this knocked out The Crowd and opened the door to add F.W. Murnau's Faust for 1926.
