let us enjoy the foundation of cinema and quiet our minds with some of the greatest movies ever made
George Bancroft was a real man with real screen presence, Josef von Sternberg was a genius


King of the comedy stunt Buster Keaton was such a great actor that his face carried the story as much as his physical prowess


Lon Chaney man of a thousand faces, nuff said


The dancing Pig, just a great costume


some crazy pizza gate shit in the magician


Haxan is all kinds of creepy and looks great remastered

I would be remiss not to include Faust and Metropolis and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Aelita is a great Russian Sci-Fi movie and this version has a super chill soundtrack


Cabiria has a Carthaginian Strong man busting up a bunch of Moloch worshiping assholes,


Intolerance is truly an epic by famed racist D.W. Griffith, its also three hours long but worth it is set design alone


Charlie Chaplin really deserves a thread of his own

Wallace Berry is a film legend and legendary asshole but he is a great character.
