RE: The short answer is yes.

I have almost totally overlooked silent films. There have been some shorts and some of Charlie Chaplain and Buster Keaton, of course. My dad liked Harold Lloyd, wasn't he the guy on the buildings?

Must be I'm more language oriented. A lot of faves are witty movies. I still watch "My Man Godfrey", once a year. Another fave is "Rumpole of the Bailey".

Still and all, there is a place for silents. Maybe try watching one a week, beginning with those you suggested. We really take special effects and such for granted these days. Would be interesting to see how they did things before a lot of mechanization and computers.
