In this course, we will watch and learn about eight of the greatest films of the silent era. These will include films featuring the three great comedians of the silent screen (Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd), as well as one featuring Lon Chaney, the actor known as "the man of a thousand faces," along with several other classics across a variety of genres. All the films can either be streamed on Amazon or Netflix, or in some cases, are available for free or for a small fee on the internet.
