I've had a fascination with silent films for a long time. They used to play 3 or 4 of them at like 1am on TCM every night, and during the summer I'd watch the majority of them. A lost art form, but an important one. Anyone else dig movies from the 1920s?

I love old movies, but I'm not familiar with silents. The closest I have is Dracula (1931), which has sound. I have a ton of 40's-50's film noir, though. I should see some silent films; I'd probably like them.

Metropolis and Nosferatu are amazing. I just recently saw the cabinet of dr. caligari and that was really neat. Awesome looking sets.

I'm not highly familiar with silent film, but I did watch Un Chien Andalou because of the Pixies, and I liked that. I also really liked the Kid with Chaplin and the Lon Chaney Phantom of the Opera.

I love them.
I've gotten to compose and perform live soundtracks to both Nosferatu and The Passion Of Joan Of Arc, which was an honor and a rewarding challenge. Others I love: The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari Wampyr Nanook of the North Man With A Movie Camera The Thief Of Baghdad A shot of my bandmates Dave and Madeline (amazing talent; she was just 12 when we did this music together): ![]() Madeline silhouette with Joan: ![]() |

The Passion of Joan Arc was featured in a contest of sorts on TCM, if I remember correctly. Were you involved with that? Nice film too.

I wasn't involved with that; we just did 3 performances. Two at the Red Eye theater and one at the College of St. Catherine.
