Fav silent movie?

[Hybrus]

Anyone watch/like silent movies??

Whats yr fav??

I went through a phase a few years ago of watching tonnes, sometimes at the NFI in London.

I think its sad that people are so prejudiced against them.

any silent film fans out there?

I don't think it's so much sad if people are 'prejudiced' against them, on the contrary it delights me to know there are so many philistines to whom I can feel superior.

I have loaRAB here on tape/disc, and I love them all. Can't ennumrrate accurately off the top of my head, but they include by no means exhaustively:

Judith Of Bethulia
Birth Of A Nation
Intolerance
Broken Blossoms
The Wind
Sunrise
The Phantom Of The Opera
Nosferatu
Cabinet Of Dr Caligari
Der Golem
The Monastery Of Sendomir
The Phantom Carriage
Metropolis
Moulin Rouge
The Ring
Champagne
The Lodger
The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
Robin Hood
Casanova
A Cottage On Dartmoor
The Wind
The Iron Horse
Wings
Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
Safety Last
Grandma's Boy
College
Steamboat Bill Jr
The General
Lots of other Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd
All Chaplin's features

Metropolis - still looks futuristic today

for a jaw-dropping weird film how about Tod "Freaks" Browning's The Unknown. David Lynch? Lightweight

There are a few on here that I like but I really don't like Chaplin so will knock those on the head

I haven't seen many (will work on that) but I loved The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu. So impressive for when they were made.

silent films are always going to be a struggle for us now. I prefer the very early days of talkies. The French especially seemed able to churn out masterpieces.........A nous la Liberte, L'atalante, Le Million, Zero de conduite..........
