95. WARNING SHADOWS (1923)

This movie is really strange! If your ever by yourself and smoking weed- this is a must see.
Choose your own music.

Rev! Kinda knowing your movie sensibilities, I think you'll enjoy this one!

Thanks RC!

They still make silent movies occasionally. Like this classic:

96. BLANCANIEVES (2012)

Snow White set in the world of Spanish bullfighting in the 20s

^ It does look like I would enjoy it.
I'm an artist (ok, a cartoonist), and I like visuals more than narrative.
Do you think I really care if Captain America beats the Red Skull? No. I just want to see Kirby's pencils and Sinnott's inks. The art was amazing.
I feel the same about some films. I don't care what's going on. As long as the visuals are amazing.

97. FLESH AND THE DEVIL (1927)

RCMerchant · June 12, 2022, 02:03:43 PM

^ I've not seen that film. I'm glad Garbo is on the list.
I would list a Valentino film; but I never sat through one!

98. the PERILS OF PAULINE (1914)
This series was total action nonsense. Like most movies and TV now.

I sat through this a few years ago at TCM:

99. THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE (1921) It's the film that made RUDOLPH VALENTINO a star.

^ I always liked Rex Ingram's work. Valentino had rock star charisma.

The Black Pirate (1926)

Douglas Fairbanks (the original) you can tell did his own stunts.. which were amazing. He made swinging from the ropes and diving look effortless. Plus, it's actually a darned good story that holds up.
