The Great Dictator definatly had sound, but Chaplin has aged very badly. It may be funny to see someone kicked up the arse once, but by the 10 millionth time it starts to get old. I love the old Expressionist films though. Stuff like Caligari, The Lodger, The Loves of Zero and The Golem. Lon Chaney films are also good, if only for the incredible make up effects.
Birth of A Nation is also pretty good, once you get over the immense and sometimes hilarious racism.
The main problem with silent movies (for me), is that in the majority of them the actors tend to emote like hell, probably due to their lack of lines. That's why I'm such a fan of Buster Keaton.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
