could you really sit through one of those?

I couldn't.. there's no way..

i have seen movies that were in foreign languages and i had to read the captions through the whole thing..



i remember watching silent movies at shakeys pizza when i was a kid in houston , texas...so yep!!! i could watch one...:p

well i could read a movie..

i need some kind of noise though.. lol

Nosferatu released in 1922. It's a take off Bram Stoker's Dracula. But that's about the only one.

don't think i ever heard of it.

i kinda like Dracula.

Hmmm-----------guess you have never seen the Keystone Cops or Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplan--------some comedy needs no sound.

No way....I need sound...

no, Lon obviously i haven't. =)

I've don't even know who/what they are.

Despite my age (74)-----Charlie Chaplan, Keystone Cops and Buster Keaton were all before my time, as were all the silent films. But as a kid we would laugh it up watching 8 mm films that our parents would play (before TV).

All three of these guys are available on You Tube and will give you an idea of comedy prior to sound (music soundtrack though). Works best if you have a broadband connection.

I will almost guarantee you a laugh.

i will look them up. thanks.

i will TRY To watch but i can't promise anything. lol

I've liked some of them. I remember seeing the Keystone Cops reruns on Sunday mornings as a kid and thought they were a hoot.

Silent movies are easy to get lost in if the story is good. It's sort of like Opera, you might not know what they're saying but it can be very entertaining.
