I will agree in respect to Meliés because I own the massive Meliés collection from Flicker Alley/Lobster and can attest to this sets merit for film enthusiasts, but I'd hesitate recommending it to the uninitiated who are just curious about silent films. I can't stress enough that early historical silent films as well as experimental cinema are very much an acquired taste (regardless of importance from a historical perspective). Most of the films Harmonia mentioned and those that I provided as an addenda are accessible to anyone with a modest interest in classic silent films.
Of course, YMMV, but that doesn't mean that we missed the mark recommendation-wise.

How boring it would be...
" Mieux vaut une tête bien faite qu'une tête bien pleine."
You acted as though Harmonia should've included films on her list that YOU think are masterpieces (saying "Not so great list Harmonia!" is rude and offensive); not everyone will agree with your assessment about Vigo and Bunuel, and yet you stated it as if it were an incontrovertible fact. See my point?
You need to work on your communication skills.

Erm...love ya both...please relax. No one is offended, at least I hope not.
I know Patrick for the Gallic tease he is.
And I apprecieate Audiophilanderer's gallantry.
So now, back to movies. :-)
I can guaranty you one thing in " real " life I am far more " gallant " than Aud...
" Mieux vaut une tête bien faite qu'une tête bien pleine."
;O)
...and 'issues' in respect to patrick's insulting folks tastes in film that are long standing. He knows which buttons to push to get a less than cordial response from yours truly, and trust me, he relishes those opportunities.
I'm sorry that you were involved in this exchange, and I'm glad that we both share a profound appreciation of silent films, but the problems I've had with patrick are not specific to this thread or your posts.
Maybe in some future thread discussing silent films patrick will be a bit more supportive of shared information instead of inserting contradictory opinions out of the blue. After all we were just trying to provide delboy, et al, with more informed options from our own experiences.

Bamby B and Harmonia are the one among the very few here I cherish the most, here and Now-
" Mieux vaut une tête bien faite qu'une tête bien pleine."
As H. obviously is not, and rightly so, she understand my urge of teasing, and my kind of.
All things that will for ever... eludes you.
PS: Yes WE ALL thinks that OUR list are the right one... You, again, lost a good reason to be quiet...
" Mieux vaut une tête bien faite qu'une tête bien pleine."
I often find your posts offensive (for other reasons), but we won't discuss that today unless you choose to make an issue out of it.

And you, as usual, took this one step too far.
> > > "I am glad YOU are offended..." < < <
Of course you're glad that I found your comments offensive; that was your real reason for posting this thread and I think most folks are keenly aware of it.

How do you like that?
" Mieux vaut une tête bien faite qu'une tête bien pleine."
Trou du cul, like yours..
" Mieux vaut une tête bien faite qu'une tête bien pleine."
And you Monsieur are no Gentleman to put a lady in such a situation.
