The 1920's

I recently had a hankering for the 1920's movies I used to watch all the time! After seeing them again, I think I need to buy them...
1920's Movies in Order of Amazingness

1. Metropolis- The pinnacle of the silent movie era, a beautiful storyline with gaudy costumes, gigantic sets and (of course) delicious melodramatic acting. Oh, and if you are going to rent it, be sure to get the restored edition, it adds so much more to the story!

2. Modern Times - Starring and directed by the funniest comedian of all time: Charlie Chaplin. The most interesting thing you will find about his movies is that it always has a deeper message. He will always make you laugh, and the characters are ingenious, but his movies end on a different note, which makes you want to watch it again and again.

3. The Eagle - So maybe I am a little biased, but I think Rudolph Valentino is one hell of a sexy man. And the storyline in this one is great, even though the bad guy of the movie is a little ridiculous. A really good romantic adventure.

4. The Black Pirate - Starring Douglas Fairbanks, this is an older movie where you will actually be surprised at the ending! Plus Fairbanks does all of his own stunts (which, in this movie, are numerous). I honestly think he broke all of his bones shooting his movies. (By the way, if you are in for a good laugh, check out his rendition of Robin Hood. You'll never see more merrier Merry Men!)

5. Nosferatu - Dark, deliciously dark. A vampire movie about the disease and disaster with devastating results. Did I use enough D's? It is a little slow in the middle, but overall a beautiful movie with really beautiful sets and an excellent storyline.

6. It - Staring Clara Bow. This is a fun movie, pretty ridiculous (as they usually were) romantic comedy. Clara is hopping all over the screen, and in the end secures her love by stowing away on his private cruise ship. A major plus, seeing Coney Island in it's former glory, and the beautiful costumes.
