The Passion of Joan of Arc

Great call. First time I saw this, it came on TCM late one Saturday night as I was getting ready for bed. I ended up glued to the TV. Falconetti's performance gets seared into your brain.

I'll add Pandora's Box. The interview on the Criterion version with an aging Louise Brooks is great too. Fascinating old gal with another memorable face.

Well, yeah, doesn't everybody love Raymond Griffith? I saw a screening of "Red Lights" thirty years ago, and it influenced me to seek out VHS copies of Griffith's (rather few) surviving comedies.

I'd always hoped "Forty Winks" (1925) would show up, but it apparently remains lost. Just like a few of those silent W.C. Fields movies, also released by Paramount. Even more lost from Paramount are a lot of the many Bebe Daniels movies, which I'd bet are a lot of fun. "Feel My Pulse" (1928) is one that is around, and it's quite funny. Would love to see others.

Slightly off topic, but the AL Theater in Bham is playing Phantom with the original score played live on the house organ. I will probably check it out.

Debbie Does Dallas with no volume.

I have never actually sat through an entire silent film. I get bored.
