I thought you would be totally engrossed by the movies now since sound was added...
speaking of...
one of my sons is a film buff and has his own Plex server where he routinely has some really cool films. A lot of the films are foreign (lots of quality Japanese, Indian and German films).
He recently threw a few silent films on there:
Nosferatu (1922)
City Girl (1930)
Sunrise (1927)
All directed by FW Murnau - German guy, WWI company commander and Fighter pilot.
I watched Nosferatu earlier this week - eerie, kind of a take off on Bram Stoker's Dracula. In fact the production company that made the film went bankrupt due to copyright violations with Stoker's estate.
The other two films I haven't seen, but in reading about Sunrise, IMDB says that Sunrise is considered to be one of the best movies of all time.
You may have seen this dude, Count Orlock aka Nosferatu:
