TCM has had Silent Sunday Night for years, occasionally I watch.  Last night's shorts were from 1915... over 100 years ago.  Silent films don't get "watchable" until the 1920s for me.  

Though I have seen and like BROKEN BLOSSOMS (it's wonderful) starring LILLIAN GISH, RICHARD BARTHELMESS, and DONALD CRISP (yes, that Donald Crisp, he's 37) ... released  1919 !!!  100 years ago!

I don't have TCM anymore, so If I watch a silent movie, it better be a good one!
I always enjoyed German silents more than American ones, for some reason.
