Interesting. I've only seen a few silent features, but they were very good, especially those made not long before the introduction of sound. The acting was normal, not melodramatic like the early stuff.

I have 15-20 silent features on Super 8, but must admit that I haven´t screened them. That´s a shame, but they are really silent. If they only had a music score like a couple of L&H silents I own, I´m shure that I would be more interested in watching them.

I've got three silent features. Tumbleweeds (1925), A William S. Hart western, taken from the neg of the 1930s re-issue; Pony Express, another from 1925 I think, and a British film called 'The Wrecker' from about 1928.

I have a couple of silent features. I have the sound from a dvd of the general which I can play.
I still love the smell of film in the morning

My first Blackhawks in the mid-1970s were Mack Sennett Keystone Kops comedies. Blackhawk also sold record albums of silent movie music, which I played to accompany those films. Invariably, once the chase ensued in these films, the record would be playing a sweet, slow passage, which didn’t really match the frenetic action on-screen! 😀
I've got silent shorts, one Keystone Kops, Harold Lloyd, 3 Tom Mix, and a few others.
