Silent movies could be small, intimate, delicate affairs. We are not going to talk about those. This month, we are all about the biggest, the most epic and the most popular films of the silent era. Only epics need apply.
To whet everyone’s appetite for the silent movie hugeness to come, here are some past reviews to enjoy:

I predict there will be at least one Rex Ingram or DW Griffith production on the list. Am I warm?
No but there is some DeMille and Eisenstein in the offing 🙂
I can’t wait!

We are having an Eisenstein marathon on Brazilian TV every Saturday night!
Please, tell me that there is the brilliancy of The Big Parade this month in the blog ❤
Sounds like fun!
I am a little Great Warred out right now but I promise some very cool and popular stuff 🙂
When will you review Italian epic films from the 1910’s? Cambria (1914) and The Last Days of Pompeii (1913? These are epic movies of Italian silent cinema. And it was the Italian silent cinema that launched epic movies first before Hollywood. These movies are deserving your critique. And they are available from kinolorber.com
Thanks for the requests! I try to keep a good mix of countries in my reviews but there is only so much time. Don’t give up hope, though. I almost always get around to major films eventually.
