I'm sorry if my choice of words offended you. If we're correcting each other, let me say your opening sentense needs a secondary verb. The correct syntax would be "I'm struck curious by..." Also, silent films are a novelty in today's world. The aspects of pantomime, antiquated makeup practices, and early, though impressive, special effects make viewing the films an unusual experience by daily standards, one of the definitions of "novelty." I am not suggesting the films are not emotionally moving; indeed, Wings had me on the edge of my seat, and City Lights left me in tears. Thank you to everyone else for your kind and thoughtful suggestions! I thoroughly enjoyed the Mack Sennett marathon last Thursday...anyone else?

So sorry to hear City Lights is out of print -- I just saw a clip online and it looks absolutely charming! Thanks for the other recommendations as well. I'll keep my eyes open for others...

Alright, so maybe I'm too new to be a true enthusiast. I recently purchased Wings to add to my Academy Award Winners collection, and I was enchanted by the novelty of silent film, and the unique way it entertained that talkies do not. If some true enthusiasts could recommend some "don't miss" classics in this genre to get me started, it would be wonderful. Thank you!

Thank you! That's it. I appreciate it.

Could someone help me with the name of this movie? All I remember is that the huge mansion is on fire at the end, and the female servant dies in the fire. It's black and white...sorry I don't have more info. Thanks!
