If this is your favorite silent movie


If The General is your favourite silent movie what other silent movies do you like and/or recommend?

reply

I did like the Lost World (1925).

The General isn't, but I did like it tremendously.

The Great Dictator isn't silent, but is wonderful, from a similar era, and contains the physical comedy and war themes. Anything Charlie Chaplin is pretty tops.

I love this movie. Even got some teenagers in the 1970's interested in it. Keaton's timing is perfection.
Avoid the need to pick and choose, list and place.
It will end up costing you more time to gather opinions than just experiencing it for yourself.
