Is this a good Film History curriculum?

So I've found myself in a bit of a bind. I'm running a short 10 class course, each class about an hour long. It's called "Introduction into Film History" if I translate it from my language. I already know which scenes I will show in class and which movies I will talk about. But since I cannot actually show feature length films in class, I thought about giving the class homework. After each lesson, they will have to watch a movie at home. And here's the problem. Film history is way too complicated to narrow it down into 10 feature length films. And I don't want to ruin the student's already busy schedules with long epics. So I made a list. Do you think I could change any of these around?

1. Battleship Potemkin (1925)

2. Modern Times (1936)

3. Citizen Kane (1941)

4. Umberto D. (1952)

5. Tokyo Story (1953)

6. Breathless (1960)

7. The Graduate (1967)

8. Blue Velvet (1986)

9. Pulp Fiction (1994)

10. The Social Network (2010)
