So many are lost though and there's still so many I've yet to see....clearly I have a Sci-Fi/Fantasy bias. Some films have some sound but still feel more like silent era films in style especially many films from the 1930s...

VAMPYR (1932) comes to mind.

It's own terms like watching a silent film and listening to a live band playing the music or a record. No - but I have doubts that any of us had.

What does this mean?   

I couldn't quite figure that one out either. I've seen live bands and they're recorded work-and I like both. A movie is a whole differnt story. Remember that old 60's TV show Fractured Flickers?

What I mean is that the film makers knew the disadvantages of a soundless movie therefore they had to compensate with live bands and/or recordings on a record. I also know that music played on a record sounds different than what is played on the radio and digital (one of the reasons why people are pushing vinyls back).
