You're welcome to Bunuel & Vigo; they're certainly important, but not everyone's cuppa tea.

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.
