Warden Callaway Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Old silent movies are being restored and look better than original. I find them entertaining to watch. Give this one a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 When I saw the title of this thread, THE GENERAL immediately popped into my mind. That is a most excellent movie. Even if those War of 1861 soldiers are using five and a half inch Single Action Armies and Trapdoor Springfields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think it was Lloyd that lost a finger, or fingers, in an accident, and then wore a glove to hide the fact. It did not seem to slow him down one bit. Gotta have a lot of respect for him, and for his tenacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directed by Fatty Arbuckle. Apart from the slapstick, the film is a pretty decent representation of railway travel in the early 19th Century. If the engine and cars are correct for the period then they were around 100 years old the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joke 'um Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 The second half of Harold Lloyd's Safety Last is some of the greatest all-time movie making. I know how it was done. I've seen it a hundred times. Still makes me cringe and cover my eyes! Outstanding!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I have always very much enjoyed the last 2 minutes of Thelma and Louise with volume muted. Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I've only ever watched two silent films. One was, "The Birth of a Nation," which was a huge KKK recruiting film in the 19-teens. The other was "Nesferatu," which was an obvious plagiarism of Dracula. I didn't mind Nesferatu, but the first one made me recoil in horror! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 When ever i see one of those pld Movies.

Ben-Hur: My grandfather, John Windlinger, had a major contract making the leather harnesses and the leather cuirasses for the 1925 Ben-Hur. My grandfather Windlinger was a leather smith in Inglewood, California. He made saddles and gun rigs for all the B-Western Hollywood Cowboys. I saw one of the saddles he made for Roy Rodgers.
