It's that time of year again to celebrate Silent Movies. Learn more about this celebration at the Silent Movie Day website.
You can find an interesting collection of silent films available for viewing at the National Film Preservation Foundation. Choose to sort by year to find them easily. Enjoy oddball shorts like Torture DeLuxe, a somewhat salacious showcase of "What Broadway's beauties will do to stay that way," and Dog Factory, a disturbing sketch where dogs are turned into sausages. The NFPF is a great place to learn and explore history.
Other places to find silent movies:
Internet Archive - There are a vast number of silent films to explore at the Internet Archive.
The Criterion Channel - Of course, there are many quality films to choose from at CC, though you will need to be a subscriber to access them. Find comedy, horror, mystery, drama, romance and historical movies from some of the greatest directors and actors of the silent era.
Lon Chaney films you can find free on Amazon Prime (if you're a Prime member): The Unholy Three, The Monster
Also free on Amazon Prime is an Alfred Hitchcock film I have not seen, The Pleasure Garden. I'll be checking that out today.
Check out some of the silent movies I have posted about in the past, as well my post on Silent Movie Day 2021. Enjoy the Silents!
