Films

I used to be a member of a cinema where Christie the murderer worked as a projectionist about 100 years.I wonder whether it is haunted.

Some favorite early silents (random order):

"La passion de Jeanne d’Arc" (1928, Dreyer)
"Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed" (1926, Reiniger)
"Ménilmontant" (1926, Kirsanoff)
"Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens" (1928, Murnau)
"The Kid" (1921, Chaplin)
"The Phantom of the Opera" (1925, Julien)
"Le voyage dans la Lune" (1902, Méliès)
"Les visages d’enfants" (1925, Feyder)
"Metropolis" (1927, Lang)
"Sherlock Jr." (1924, Keaton)
"Chelovek s kino-apparatom" (1929, Vertov)
"Häxan" (1922, Christensen)

As an American who had never heard of Christie, I had to look him up. Interesting…
