wasted Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 the best ones always have no speaking. a bit like Pulp Fiction with the volume turned down. The only one I know is that Chaplin one where he becomes train driver and The Artist wasn't bad either. not big silent movie fan. we have the technology to hear people speak. let's use it.

izzygirl Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Besides those already mentioned I would say "Battleship Potemkin", "Broken Blossoms", "Safety last!" and the short film "Un chien andalou". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Battleship Potemkin was epic. The Kid was amazing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogstar90_G'N'R Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have only seen Chaplin's films and I regard 'The Kid' and 'The Gold Rush' very highly. Saw a bit of 'The Artist' the other day, looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I thought The Artist was going to be cheesy because of the dog, but it turned out to be a really good film. I'm hoping they reconstruct "Greed" where they can animate the stills somehow. "Intolerance" and "Broken Blossoms" are favorites. "Birth of a Nation" should be mentioned because of the importance in film history, but I don't put it on a favorites list. There are some pretty cool experimental shorts past and present .LOVED the "Trip to the Moon" Blu-Ray, definitely worth watching that one, esp. if you've recently seen "Hugo".

Zint Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Apparantly Criterion are going to start releasing the works of Harold Lloyd on blu-ray.Quite excited about that!They hinted earlier that one of the first releases might be "Safety Last". (ever seen that scene of a guy dangling from a broken clock high over the city?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The Artist doesn't count. People should watch The Birth of a Nation without judgement and appreciate what a good film it was. It was appropriate for the time it was made in.The Phantom of the Opera was great. Also The General. I think today people would appreciate the comedies and horror films though anything with Lillian Gish was nice because she was so beautiful.

James Bond Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Metropolis. The most recent Kino edition is the most complete version of the film to date, so I'd recommend that release for those who haven't seen it. Anybody seen the Giorgio Moroder cut from 1984? I've been thinking about getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
