The year is almost over, so please share your favorite silent movie watches of 2025!

Mine was THE BLOOD SHIP (1927), a nasty nautical revenge picture that I had been wanting to see for years and which met all expectations and more

'For the Picture Fans of 2025', as published in Motion Picture magazine, August 1925, showing Lillian Gish and Colleen Moore being immortalized in sculpture for their performances in Romola and So Big (both 1924). A little eerie in the sense that only one of those still exists.
