In the film, created by the ten-year anniversary in October, shows the typical fate of a revolutionary. Poverty leads a country boy at the plant, and participation in a riot - in prison. Harsh prison and School of trench life, contact with the revolutionaries, the Bolsheviks opened my eyes to the former farmer, and he in the front ranks of soldiers and workers are to storm the Winter Palace. Episodes of relentless trench warfare, military excitement on the Stock Exchange, as well as the events of October in St. Petersburg are among the best achievements of cinema.

Alas, nearly 80% of silent films are lost, although there have been some surprising finds in remote archives in recent years. For example, in 2010 75 hitherto lost movies were discovered in the New Zealand Film Archives vault, including John Ford's Upstream (1927) which I had the pleasure of seeing when it was screened at the Motion Picture Academy last year.

One half of the first reel of Josef von Sternberg's The Case of Lena Smith (1928) was discovered in Shanghai in 2006.

We can only hope for our other discoveries: Sternberg's The Dragnet, Hitchcock's The Mountain Eagle, Ozu's The Vengeful Spirit of Eros are among the most sought after.

Try Chaplin's "the Kid," King Vidor's "The Crowd" and Pudovkin's "Storm Over Asia". Actually, any of Chaplin's silent films are better than 98% of the feature-length 3D, superzero tweets coming out of Hollywood today.

Any silent film from the German Expressionist era, some of which have already been mentioned; Das Cabinet der Caligari, Nosferatu, Die Nibelungen, Metropolis, Der Golem, etc. Plus, All Quiet on the Western Front, etc. You also have Hitchcock working in a German film company at the time too, so you should check out some of the films he worked on (as a set designer I think) and some of his early films such as The Lodger. There's a great Swedish/Danish film called Häxan that you should check out. I think it's labelled as a horror film. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A4xan

Found a link, looks like it's all on youtube:

I also found that Hitchcock one, The Lodger. It's not a very good transfer though.

Silent films are really cool. My nan used to tell me how she watched them at the cinema when she was young. A pianist would be sat at the front, and play along when the movie was rolling. She found it a culture shock, when the "talkies" (film with sound) came in.

I haven't seen many, but the one I would reccommend the most is Nosferatu, about a vampire. Very, very atmospheric and spooky :)

I just found this channel on youtube which contains a whole bunch of full silent movies and just general old ones past their copy right date and in reasonably good transfers:

If you can find it, I recommend The Cabinet Of Dr. Ramirez, a silent film made in 1993 by Peter Sellars with music by American composer John Adams, featuring Peter Gallagher, Joan Cussack, Mikhail Baryshnikov and others.

"the great train robbery", "journey to the moon", "a murder in harlem" and others are pretty good

[Os Cangaceiros]

I've seen The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, Battleship Potemkin, The Birth of a Nation, and various short films (like Un Chien Andalou, Journey to the Moon, etc). None on my own free will, though...I saw all those in film class.
