I love the Keystone movies and The Bangville Police is one of my favorites. Mabel parodies the "Griffith damsel in distress" perfectly!
And silent movies are fun to watch if you are a bit adept at reading lips. Sometimes what they say is completely NOT what the intertitles say, like "What Price Glory?" Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen's lips are saying, "You goddamn sonofabitch!" and the title card says, "You stink worse than a skunk" or something like that. XD
If you can sit through all of "Intolerance," Harron plays the hero in the modern story. Both he and Mae Marsh are brilliant. Poor Bobby - he had a tragic end and it's still unclear if it was an accident or suicide. :(
