I haven't seen a lot of silent movies but I can recommend this one: "The Passion of Joan of Arc." It's a masterpiece.
It uses the actual transcripts from Joan's trial.

I saw that a long time ago. I must see it again. In was produced in France. In some ways silent movies were a superior art form to the talkies, one of which was the ease that they could be translated into different languages.
Probably the most famous silent movie was Erich von Stroheim's masterpiece "Greed", 1924. Over 85 hours of footage was shot, including two months in Death Valley, CA in the height of summer (been there, done that), where the final scene takes place. It was trimmed down to eight hours for its release, but only 2 1/2 hours survive. Film buffs are always hoping that the lost footage might resurface someplace.
Films like Greed and Sunrise are not only great works of art, but the on location shots show glimpses of a lost America. For instance both of them show the great public transportation system that we had back then, the interurban cars, trollies, and railroads, all deliberately dismantled. And of course they show our own white nation...before the Vampyre seized total control of our mass media.

By far the most revolutionary silent movie was D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation", 1915 (original title "The Clansman"). It created an enormous sensation all over the country with huge lines waiting to see it everyplace. There was even a special showing for President Wilson in the White House. It was over three hours long. Before that, movies had mostly been one reelers just 10 or 12 minutes long. It is the story of the Southern guerrilla resistance to the northern occupation, the Ku Klux Klan.

One of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time. At least (Globalist pawn) Wilson had good taste in pictures.

Yes, Pres. Wilson was a globalist pawn and warmonger, but negrophilia, let alone the glorification of sex perverts, wasn't yet on the Vampire agenda. Pres. Teddy Roosevelt was also a globalist warmonger, but he did have redeeming qualities such as founding the national park system and being a great outdoorsman - the last president to have any redeeming qualities at all with the exception of JFK. Someone wrote a book comparing Teddy Roosevelt's racial views with those of Adolf Hitler - their terms of office were only twenty years apart - and they were almost the same.
President Wilson said after watching Birth of a Nation, "It's like writing history with lightning!"
