THis is a forum dedicated to the forgotten, but important silent films, the two favorites of mine,
Metropolis
Nosferatu
are both German Expressionist films, so, i don't think silent movies should be forgotten because most of them have a better moral then movies do today.

Ah yes, I remember there was one such thing as a time when German movies didn't suck like no tomorrow... sadly though, I didn't watch the two you mentioned, gotta catch up on those in the near future.
I think I saw parts of Nosferatu back when I was little, can't remember it very clearly though, the only thing stuck in my mind - of course - is the image of Mr. Nosferatu himself.
Oh, how I wish that we didn't slowly lose all our directing, storytelling and acting abilities after World War II...

everyonce in a while, a director still shines through, but most films are made for money nowadays, while back then people made movies as art to convey a message about humanity.
edit: nosferatu is good, but if you want a good convincing look at modern society and an appocolyptic vision of the future, then watch Metropolis. I believe it is George Lucas's inspiration for C-3P0. Boy, did he stand on the shoulders of giants when he made star wars. Im surprised they could support his weight.
