Will watch one, now and then, on TCM. A few of my favorites - "The Phantom of the Opera", "Metropolis", and "The General".

I'm not a big fan either. My favorite would be Clara Bow's "It."

I've seen Mel Brooks' SILENT MOVIE. That's about it.

I've seen a few here and there, probably all on TCM. Ones that stand out are the shorts comedies with Harold Lloyd, Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, etc. Some were actually funny despite not having sound; it really highlights how wonderful at physical comedy they were, not to mention the clever sight gags.

I've also seen Phantom of the Opera, A Trip to the Moon (1902), and others.

I've seen Greed and The Jazz Singer (though it had some dialogue, most of the movie is silent.

I know I saw some other silent films and a lot of Charlie Chaplin films, but those are the ones that are on top of my head right now.
