If we're sharing our favorites then I don't think you can go wrong with La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (1928).
The criterion collection version is great and watch it with Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light, especially if it's your first time.
It's one of the more high profile silent films but with good reason. If you want to try something different with friends but don't want them to fall asleep I've had good success with this film.
