I love anything with Charlie Chaplin, and I love Metropolis!
What is the best silent film you've ever seen?

I know it's one of the big ones that everyone is familiar with... but Nosferatu is so creepy that it still works. I love that movie.
That being said, I am a huge Lon Chaney fan. (Sr. - Though he was not really a Sr. - Creighton Chaney changed his name to Lon Chaney Jr. to break into the movie biz). Phantom of the Opera is just one of my all time favorites.

I have enjoyed 'bites' of Charlie Chaplin movies... but I am really not that well versed outside of the really famous scenes and gags.

I'm not that old. but I've seen Larurel and Hardey when they were in black and white. I think the only actual silent one I've had the misfourtune of reading was a Charlie Chaplin. I hate subtitles.

Definitely a Chaplin fan, Buster Keaton is also a great one

I have never seen a silent film, seems too quite for me.

Nosferatu and Metropolis were awesome as hell, also this very old horror film... I think it was called The Black Cat or something like that.

Yes! Chaplin and Keaton were both comedic geniuses. It's a shame that so many people have never heard of, or seen, Buster Keaton.

Torn between Bejamin Christensen's Häxan, and Pandora's Box with Louise Brooks...

Buster Keaton's Sherlock, Jr. and Chaplin's Modern Times.

I totally forgot about the Lon Chaney version of Phantom of the Opera. That was amazing!
