Not-so-silent Films of the 1920s

I never make polls, but answering a meme about films over on Facebook inspired me to ask these questions of LJ readers.

[Poll #1445665]

I've only seen bits and pieces at times, never a full film -- I did just get Metropolis on Netflix, though, and am looking forward to that.

Metropolis is one of the great ones. You might like to look up some commentary on it though, either before or after, because it's filled with allusions and elements that we are likely to miss unless we've studied the culture of the time in detail.
