Welcome to Classic Silent Films Theater!
Welcome to Classic Silent Films Theater, brought to you by Classic Cinema Online.
Silent films are a long forgotten yet very important part of entertainment history, and I'm glad to see interest in them being renewed.
These pieces are a window to our past, showing a bit of culture, fashion, and technology of the times. They also show social trends of the time, as well, and while fads and phrases have changed throughout the years, we see that some things remain do the same.
Of special interest to me are the acting abilities of silent performers. How many modern day actors and actresses can accomplish such performance with any measure of success? It would be interesting to see.
In fact -- if there are any budding film makers out there who would like to create modern silent classics, you are welcome to have them screened and featured here, I'll create a special category just for these. There are some standards, though, as this is a family oriented site, so anything that is shown here must be neutral enough to be enjoyed by most everyone of any age.
I hope you enjoy this site as much as I enjoy putting it together.
And, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
