Lately, I have seen quite a few silent features but, to be honest, I usually have a hard time to watch them. Personally, I find it pretty tough to sit through a full length feature without any dialogs, especially when it is about 3 hours long.

"THE THIEF OF BAGDAD - MAGIC CARPET RIDE Raoul Walsh's epic 1924 fantasy adventure 'The Thief of Bagdad' gave legendary swashbuckler Douglas Fairbanks one of his greatest roles. Now considered one of the finest accomplishments of the silent era, 'The Thief of Bagdad' is an astonishing masterpiece for its time and (for anyone with a bit of imagination) for any time. Although it is obvious in hindsight how some of the effects were achieved, 'The Thief of Bagdad' is loaded with them, with endearing"
