SILENT FILMS:
Some Silent Films Stars:
Charlie Chaplin
Thelma Todd
Harold Lloyd
Laurel and Hardy
Mabel Normand
Buster Keaton
Silent films were made around and awhile after the turn of the century, especially popular during the 20's and 30's. Even after films had sound, many people still liked to make theirs silent, although accompanied with music.
My personal favorite is Charlie Chaplin. He's got to be one of the funniest silent comedians of all time. See some of his movies, which include: City Lights, The Kid, Modern Times, Gold Rush, Pay Day, The Great Dictator ( that one's not silent).
Let's not forget Vaudeville! This was done even before silent films, before they could make films, and after that also, as they were popular. They were live performances consisting of comedy acts, dancing, singing, a whole entertaining show, but much lower budget! Very good.
