Metropolis
Nosferatu

mothlight (brakhage, 1963)

Intolerance
The Last Command
>>70556397
Metropolis
Nosferatu
Phantom of the Opera
The Golem

Yeah, I pretty much just stick to sci-fi and horror.
This was great for a modern silent film, imho.
sunrise
7th heaven
street angel
lucky star
Has everyone forgot about this film?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8K9AZcSQJE
>>70557320
Not silent
I liked this one, Les Vampires
Also
Sunrise, The Cameraman, Safety Last, Lucky Star
>>70557240
>lucky star
Fuckin A
>>70557320
Is this movie good or is it a meme.Or is it both?
>>70556397
Greed
Nosferatu
Call of Cthulhu
Metropolis
He Who Gets Slapped
>>70557458
my nigga
Janet Gaynor is so fucking cute holy shit
The middle segment in Hou Hsiao-Hsien's Three Times is silent.
>>70557517
Yep
I also just realized all your picks are her films. Only seen Sunrise and Lucky Star. I'll add those two to my list.
>>70557432
Retarded aren't we?
>Language: Silent (English intertitles)
>>70557465
It is a good movie, I recommend. 74% chance you will cry.
>no mention of Napoleon

The first feature length film made in Italy.
>>70557852
Truly retarded.
>A silent film is a film with no spoken dialogue.
One line just before the credits doesn't fucking count. You know the flag in Battleship Potemking (1925) is colored in red, that doesn't make a film not black-and-white.
>>70558249
A silent movie is a movie without sound
the artist (2011) was kino
>>70558276
It's one of the only recent AA winners to actually deserve that honor.
>want to bump thread
>have pleb taste in silent films
>most the ones i like have been posted
Shit thread but I will contribute
Anybody came across a film with sound that also works as a silent? (no subtitles allowed)
>>70558961
The test of a great film is if it can be enjoyed with the sound off.
>>70558961
Any modern flick like Star Wars or Ghostbusters. You might as well turn off the monitor, it will only get better.
>no Fairbanks
>no Chaplin
>no Keaton
do you people just hate fun?
The Artist was pretty good
>>70558961
La vie nouvelle / Un lac
>>70559098
That's nonsense
>>70559199
>no Keaton
I posted The Cameraman right here >>70557458
>>70559199
>>70557458
The Cameraman is Keaton isn't it?
>>70559288
>That's nonsense
How so?
>>70558961
It can still have live music and title cards or no? Something like Under the Skin would probably work.
>>70559288
Film is primarily a visual medium and if it can't be entertaining on that level alone it has failed.
The Anvil Hoarder (1930)
Die Nibelungen
My Best Girl
Earth
Der heilige Berg
Tabu
>>70559480
film is primarily a visual medium but that doesn't mean every film needs to be primarily visual, which is why a movie like Blue is great
>>70559510
If it isn't primarily visual then why is it a film at all?
>>70559539
Because it uses visuals
>>70559563
But using them in a cinematic way is the question that decides greatness. Few films do this.
>>70559388
Yes it is, friend. Watch it if you haven't already.
>>70556397
Siegfried nigga gots good imagery
>>70559586
Thanks. Watched a bit of Keaton when I was a kid along with Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy and Three Stooges stuff. More than long enough ago for a rewatch.
>>70559582
No, do you also say silent films are not great because they don't make use of sound? Don't be silly. Film is a combination of sound and image in varying configurations. Don't try to pigeonhole art into your ideal.
>>70559756
Also watch The General, and Sherlock Jr for Keaton.
and Safety Last! with Harold Lloyd. It's intense.
1. Man with a Movie Camera (1929) by Dziga Vertov
2. New York Subway (1905) by Billy Bitzer
3. The Docks of New York (1928) by Josef von Sternberg
4. Japanese Girls at the Harbor (1933) by Hiroshi Shimizu
5. Sunrise (1927) by F. W. Murnau
>>70559098
That's kind of a strange logic. A film written by someone like Woody Allen or Billy Wilder would become extremely dull to watch as most of their appeal comes from characterization through dialogue.
Even visual masterpieces such as Lawrence of Arabia would then be 90% staring at peoples' faces moving.
>>70559961
Added to the list.
Five films, that aren't necessarily my five absolute favourite, but which I very much like nevertheless.
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
Faust
Broken Blossoms
The Phantom Carriage
Intolerance
This one was kinda cool.
>>70556397
this is literally the top 5 silent movies in the TSPDT top 1000
>>70561706
No, I just checked. In TSPDT it's as follows:
Sunrise
Battleship Potemkin
The Passion of Joan of Arc
The Man with a Movie Camera
City Lights
Why would you post something like this without checking?
>>70561907
whatever, close enough. The General comes right after
>>70558961
3 iron and spring, summer... ?
Metropolis
The Docks of New York
Faust
The Passion of Joan of Arc
Way Down East
>>70561960
Those are arguably the best most influental masterpieces of silent era, what surprises you to see them in different lists?
>>70558961
>Anybody came across a film with sound that also works as a silent? (no subtitles allowed)
Soderbergh said that Raiders of the Lost Ark can perfectly work as a silent film
http://extension765.com/sdr/18-raiders
being the cinema autist he is, I trust him
>>70562093
The fact that it's almost the exact same list. 'your taste is boring' is an understatement. Having a few critically acclaimed masterpieces in your all time favourites is one thing, but your top 5 out of dozens and dozens of great films just so happening to match the top 6 of the TSPDT list leads me to believe OP made these picks up on the fly to start a thread.
>all these entry-level films
1. Orphans of the Storm
2. The Wind
3. The Gold Rush
4. Broken Blossoms
5. Red Lily
>>70562267
If you have seen them you know how great they are. Lists like TSPDT are not opinion of single person, they are like votes of many people, having approximately the same favorite films is absolutely normal.
>>70562512
Yes, I'm that Gishfag.
>>70562512
>Orphans of the Storm
Based Incestuous Gishes
The Mark of Zorro (1920)
Last of the Mohicans (1920)
Metropolis (1927)
>>70557458
I will eat anything with women with that look, that pale make up, that short hair cut etc
It's a plus that it's silent so I don't have to listen to German. But mainly it's the color.
This kind of women and their makeup only work in black and white
>>70556397
I am going to see this Chinese silent movie by Ruan Lingyu
>>70556723
idk anything about silent film but i thought menilmontant was pretty amazing.
also, 23rd psalm branch.
1- Coeur Fidèle
2- City Girl
3- Ménilmontant
4- Der Letzte Mann
5- Entr'acte
(not my top5, just underseen classics)
>>70562642
>The Mark of Zorro (1920)

>>70562576

Having the same taste as an AGGREGATE is unusual (unless you're someone who's seen an extremely low number of films).
>>70566641

Bicycle Thieves (Vittorio De Sica, 1948)
