Yeah, they're like any other movie, old or new, in that some just don't pique my interest. But for me a good part of it does seem to be whether I'm in the mood for a silent film.
For example, I recall starting to watch an old Chaplin film - I believe it was The Kid - and just finding it boring as heck. Months later, I was channel surfing and came across it and was able to enjoy watching it.
The Kid is interesting because it has Jackie Coogan in it, but not IMHO anywhere near Chaplin's best. City Lights or The Gold Rush are far more entertaining and significant.
Try Keaton's The General, though, or Valentino in Blood and Sand or The Son of the Sheik.
