The closest I've gotten to truly silent film was the night Wisconsin Public TV was showing Harold Lloyd films and I had been too close to a too-loud sound (carbide cannon) and had temporary hearing impairment. This was before the time of closed captioning or its being common at least, so the "silent" films were welcome. That Harold Lloyd is good certainly didn't hurt either.
