    Since I like black and white movies,it follows that I would like Silent Movies.

    Some have stood the test of time.

    'A Trip to the Moon' - 1902 is a fun one to watch.
    'Metropolis' - 1927 is great vision of the future.
    And my personal favorite, 'Nosferatu' - 1922 this one can still scare.

    To me, silent movies are like the old radio programs. I can listen to
    a series of 'Sam Spade' and picture San Francisco in the 20's.

    Watching a silent movie, I marvel at how they use facial expressions to move the flow of the story.

    Wonderful Tim, some more titles for us;) I actually saw that Nosferatu advertised on my Netflix but never watched it. Also, I need to get hold of some of those old radio programs, how great that would be to listen to some of those as well;)
