rico,

I don't actually own any movies, but I consider "The Battleship Potemkin","The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" "Nosferatu (1923)" and "Metropolis", plus some comedies of Chaplin, Lloyd, and Keaton to be in the "top whatever" league.

Here's a question: Do you have movies that are so dominantly, visually stunning that you conceive of them as silent or they could be silent and be as impressive? I could watch "Beauty and the Beast" (1946), "Quest for Fire", and "2001: A Space Odyssey" without sound.

How about Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie" in which the only word spoken ("Non") is spoken by mime Marcel Marceau?

Cheers,

Bambi B
