I Get weird looks when people find out i like quite a bit of Silent Movies, one of my favorites is Nosferatu, from 1921 i believe, also, the first Dracula movies based off of Bram Stokers novel of the same name. Any fans at all? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Harold Lloyd was great. I have not seen a lot of his films but Safety Last! would be my favourite of his. I love silent movies. Actually anything from the golden age of Hollywood ranks high in my books A few of my faves are: The General - Buster Keaton City Lights - Charlie Chaplin Nosferatu - Max Schreck The Phantom of the Opera - Lon Chaney The Kid - Charlie Chaplin Anything by Buster Keaton of Chaplin is worth a look actually. They did a lot of their own directing aswell. A few other good directors to check out would be D.W. Griffith, F.W. Murnau and Fritz Lang.

Actually the movie "Shadow of the Vampire" with John Malkovich and Willem Dafoe is a fictional tale of the making of Nosferatu. It's a pretty horrible movie though (I thought anyways) but figured I'd mention it anyways. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Some more enjoyable than others (Birth of a Nation was not a favorite) Sunrise It's by Murnau, so I guess you might have seen it, but that film is one of the few (about 15 out of 400) films that I have given 10 stars on IMDb. From the end of the silent era, and it did have a score recorded (although it works well without one). And, of course, Das Kabinett des Dr. Caligari is a classic too. Probably the most stylized of the expressionist films. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
