So, i just watched Nosferatu for the first time.
And it was really awsome. I havn't seen all that many silent b/w movies, but i really enjoyed it. you should watch it if you havn't already. Also, if anyone knows of any other great silent movies, i would love to check them out.

Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde from 1920 is insanely great. Metropolis is another silent movie that should be seen. Not that goff though, like Nosferatu and the above mentioned movie.

Nosferatu is great. I have a image of Max Schreck from the movie as my desktop wallpaper. It's the same image used on Clepatra's Bauhaus tribute CD The Passion of Covers . If you want to see another creepy, stylish silent movie check out The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari . To save money they used painted sets and then they figured since they were painted they might as well make them surreal too. Then they shot the whole thing with only 1 studio light. The overall effect is like a nightmare. Rob Zombie did a decent copy of it in his Living Dead Girl video.

Another good silent film from the German Expressionist movement is ` Faust` directed by F.W Murnau in 1926 !!!.
Other good silent films worth checking out that havent being mentioned yet are ...
The Phantom Of The Opera (Starring Lon Chaney)
The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (Starring Lon Chaney)
Frankenstein (1910)
I hope this helps !!!.

Though it isn't a silent film, I would recommend 'Shadow of the Vampire' which is about the making of Nosferatu.

I have the dual disc DVD of Nosferatu and Phantom of the Opera. It makes me quite happy.

She_Is_My_Sin, love that movie. Also, Grimm, check out some of the old Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton flicks, Charlie Chaplin, of course, and films by Leni Riefenstahl, Pudovkin, and, I believe, Eisenstadt.

The Seventh Seal makes all those others pale in comparison.

Watch "Nightmare Before Christmas" with subtitles, on mute, and with the RGB on your TV turned down as low as it'll go so it'll all be grayscale.
Instant black and white silent film.

I enjoyed that, yeah. I don't know if I enjoyed Nosferatu more, though.
