Top 10 Silent Films
My top 10:
1.Sunrise- 20 pts
2.Metropolis- 19
3.Man with a Movie Camera- 18
4.The Passion of Joan of Arc -17
5.Battleship Potemkin- 16
6.The General- 15
7.The Gold Rush- 14
8.Nosferatu- 13
9.The Chess Player -12
10.People on Sunday- 11
(10 pts for each choice, further 1-10 pts for position. I think that's a fair system)
Let's be having yours!

I haven't seen enough of them to make a top 10, but I'll rate the ones I have seen (not including shorts):
Battleship Potemkin - 6
Metropolis - 10
The Lodger - 5
The General - 9
The Passion of Joan of Arc - 7 (appreciate it a lot in some areas, find it lacking in others)
Man With a Movie Camera - 10
The Gold Rush - 5 (but it's been a looong time since I've seen it, I'll be giving it another chance soon)
Dog Star Man - 10

Ah, right, my points allocation was confusing. That was done simply to keep score towards a final result. Let's forget that. Just pick the films (whether a few or 10), everyone.

Did you have your mute button on Arman? A Nous La Liberte isn't silent.  Rene Clair is quite innovative in his use of sound in this film and Le Million.
