Recommend me a silent movie.

I am interested in a grand, well shot epic, with lots of action and very little slapstick stuff. Hopefully a historical big budget movie.

Have you seen Birth of a Nation ?

Mandwa, there's a Silent era film Hall of Fame going on right now. These are the films that were nominated. They are all worth watching!

A silent movie that first tried seemingly psychedilic special effects. For 1920 and no sound, they did a respectable job.
