I like WEST OF ZANZABAR and THE UNKNOWN a lot. There are great scenes in many silents like NOSFERATU, METROPOLIS (love the lab scene with the robot), SEFREID, DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE and others, but I don't have to urge to sit and watch these movies like I do the films of the '30s and '40s. Count Gamula

Even Metropolis, which I have had for probably 15-20 years on tape, I haven't been able to get through in one sitting. The same goes for Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages. I wanted that one for years and years, and when I got it on eBay this past spring, I put it in once, fell asleep, and haven't put it back in since. Like many here, I do enjoy the Chaney silents. But my truly favorite silent film is "The Bells," with Boris Karloff as the sideshow mesmerist.

Jul 26 08 9:23 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I don't know if its my favorite, but I really enjoy the 1910 version of Frankenstein, produced by Edison and directed by J. Searle Dawley. Though I am not a fan of Edison himself, or the fact that he changed many key story elements so as not to offend the contemporary morals of the day, I still really enjoy it. Even the plot changes were actually fairly amusing. Frankenstein is made out from a nice brothey soup instead of pieced together from corpses! I also really like Ogle's costuming. Its only about 16 minutes long, and VERY early as far as horror goes, but whats not to love?? But really: Man Who Laughs The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari The Penalty Haxan (mainly for aesthetics) Really I adore West of Zanzibar and the Unknown, but I don't know if these qualify as horror?

Jul 27 08 11:29 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Trilby, I enjoy the Edison FRANKENSTEIN both for its historical importance and for being a pre-iconic-Monster-look take on the story. I wouldn't have it near my top five, however. Really I adore West of Zanzibar and the Unknown, but I don't know if these qualify as horror? One man's opinion--both of these Chaneys are much closer to horror than is THE PENALTY (a great film, but no way horror.)
