The General. Buster Keaton was a certified bad-arse.

Mel Brooks Silent Movie:



I loved the famous Pantomime Marcel Marceau said the only word "Non" as a funny switch.

Metropolis has finally been totally restored, after a decades-long search for missing frames and scenes.

Now that these missing scenes have finally been found, Metropolis is the answer.

Now that 21st Century computer technology has completed a frame-by-frame restoration of the entire film, Metropolis is the answer.

However, there's something about The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari telling me that Caligari is my favorite silent film.



Or maybe Chaplin's "City Lights"? Hmmmm.

Don't really think I have a singular favorite. But some of my top ones would be...

1. Skinner's Dress Suit (1926)
2. Miss Lulu Bett (1921)
3. Three Bad Men (1926)
4. Our Hospitality (1923)
5. The Cossack Whip (1916)
6. The Thief of Bagdad (1924)
7. Paths to Paradise (1925)
8. The Kid Brother (1927)

I'd also give a nod to "Les Vampires" (1915), the French serial. Wild fun, once you get used to its peculiar style and vibe.
