The most interesting thing about this thread is that I once started a similar one and got nothing but "you old fart" replies. At least this one is getting some serious responses.

I think that due to the limited capabilities, the better films of that era were dramas, mysteries, etc.
Actually IMHO the greatest silent films were comedies. Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd mastered both the craft of visual storytelling and the art of visual comedy.

Those unfamiliar with silent comedy should watch this:
Comedy: A Serious Business
It's an episode from my all time favorite documentary series, Hollywood: A Celebration of Silent Film, produced by the great film historian Kevin Brownlow and narrated by James Mason.
