Last Silent Film you saw ?

Well, go on.

Me first:

The Doll, 1919.

Always love a Lubitsch film. Never seen one of his silents before (well, parts of The Student Prince - need to buy a DVD!).

Very cute (and funny) romantic comedy. Sweet, silly little story.

Nice sets too. Dear, y'know? - And full of whimsy ;D!

Before that I caught City Lights at the Phil. Live orchestra :}!
(They should play more silents).
I cried at the end, I always do.

Live orchestras are the best! I had the pleasure of seeing Metropolis with a live original score. I'll never forget it.

The last silent I saw was a Chaplin double feature playing at The Paramount in Austin. Modern Times and City Lights, my two favorites of his! It was great. 4laugh

(I checked out The Doll on Youtube and it looks adorable, I'll have to see the whole thing sometime. :3)

The last silent I actually saw was in a program of silent shorts with live accompaniment at the George Eastman House's Dryden Theatre. The last of the films in the program was Lost a Yodel (1921), a lovely toned and tinted documentary set in Switzerland.

In the middle of the night on Tuesday night, TCM showed "King of Kings". Sadly, being so late, I fell asleep on it. I woke up later to find another silent on--"The Cheat", a not-so-famous film I saw some time back on that channel.

Turner Classic Movies Silent Sundays is back at Midnight (or thereabouts) biggrin They have one on tonight! I missed the start, though.
Right now they are showing "Mockery" (1927) with Lon Chaney.

I got to see Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood with live orchestral accompaniment. It was the premiere of a pretty new tinted print too! Super rad. smile
