Long before 3D animations and stunning cinematography and sound effects, there were already silent films. Silent films are films that don’t have recorded sound effects, not even spoken dialogues. Background music was not recorded then but played live by a pianist or some other musician. The actors had to act out everything, which, when you think about it, is pretty much amazing. They had to use various techniques just to let their viewers get the idea of what it was they were trying to convey.
There had been hundreds of films of this kind that were produced, and following is a list of 15 of the most entertaining, the most popular for some reason or other, and the most influential of them all.
