It’s time once again for me to ask my readers to select my reviews for the entire month of December! Do you have a silent film or a movie about silents that you have been wanting me to cover? This is your chance!
Just reply with whatever movie or movies you would like me to cover. Feel free to second any requests already made.
Not sure if the movie has already been reviewed or not? Here is my alphabetical index! (In need of updating, I am afraid.)
I always look forward to these months because it puts movies on my radar that I had not even thought about reviewing. Thanks in advance!

I’m dying to see your review of Fanchon the Cricket, ‘cause I ain’t gettin’ younger.
Thank you!
The Man Who Came Back (1924), if it’s available.
I’m absolutely fascinated by any lost film and Restless Spirit is my current fixation but I recently rabbit hole’d 1919 Divorcee and now want nothing more than to see it. Stage Struck is also a personal favourite of mine. (Yes I’ve been on a Dwan fixation)
Thank you!
Thank you!
Well, how about the great Japanese art film A Page of Madness?
Thank you!
1926 Murnau’s Faust, please!
Thank you!
The Golem
The Student of Prague
Thank you!
The Raven 1915
I don’t see The Passion of Joan of Arc on your list.
Chinese silent films might be cool!
The Goddess, The Peach Girl and New Women all feature Ruan Lingyu, considered one of the best dramatic actresses of her generation. Even if they’re not your cup of tea (a lot of melodrama and social problem pictures) it’s still an interesting look at the film industry of Shanghai in the Golden Decade.
Smouldering Fires US 1925 please!
Napoleon, the latest restoration.
Purity (1916) if that is available somehow (it probably isn’t but that is at the top of my list). Other than that, I second Page of Madness, Student of Prague (1926), and The Goddess.
Smouldering Fires US 1925 (Clarence Brown) was also known ass Married Hypocrites, Clinging Fingers! Very Lubitsch , an Iron Woman falling for a younger man …
I found a 9.5mm abridgement of the previously lost The Happy Warrior (1925) and it would be so cool to see you review it!
I would love for you to watch Les Miserables (1925)!I believe it be one of the best adaptations of the book out there, and I would enjoy seeing your take on it as a film.
Everyone (here anyway!) knows Douglas Fairbanks’ swashbucklers – and I’d be pretty confident most would also know their predecessors – the light comedy action films that made him a star. But there was a one-off in 1916 – The Half-Breed – a drama about, primarily, racial prejudice…and touching on misogyny, all within a year of DW Griffith’s overblown twaddle that pandered to both. And it’s a well-made film, restored, and available in excellent condition. It would make a great, and thoughtful review subject.
Just a thought…
I would love for you to review any of the following: The Saga of Gösta Berling (1926), Feu Mathias Pascal (1925); Underworld (1927); He Who Gets Slapped (1924); The Shock (1923); Casanova (1927); The Docks of New York (1928); You Never Know Women (1926). I also second the request for Student of Prague. Thanks!
Oh, forgot one other suggestion: The Man Who Laughs with Conrad Veidt. Thanks!
