Cinematic History
I decided to buy some silent movies, just for historical sake. My grandmother used to tell me about the movie stars of the past, and all things involving their lives and career. I just wanted to see what the hub-bub was about, and compare it to my time, and how things have evolved from then to now. Very interesting, from many aspects. The acting was so dramatic, and exaggerated, until it was kind of amusing.The men wore just as much make-up as the women. And they were the leading men of that day? My grandmother really used to talk about Rudolph Valentino so I had to see him and all the femme fatales she told me about. (Oh, Grandma) I got a chance to look into the past, and see what she saw at the movies, when she was dating. It was fun. I'll buy more.

"SIlence!" whispered the Professor.
Yes, I do enjoy the occasional silent film. I suppose you could call me a history buff.

wrong item
I ordered a VHS Silent Flims "Pollyanna" starring Mary Pickford and I was sent the Disney version of the VHS film of Pollyanna starring Hayley Mills. I already own that VHS version that was sent to me. I was totally dissatisfied.

False advertising
As mentioned by another reviewer, the box states that there is a host that introduces each film and that there are DVD features and chapter selection. This is simply not true. Amazon did a great job, as usual, shipping the films but Timeless Media should provide a refund for false advertising. As historically important as these films may be, they really aren't entertaining without the commentary, introductions or biographical information found on most other classic films. If that's not important to you, then I would say that the quality of the film is good so you will probably enjoy it. If, like me, you are interested in the history of film and the actors portrayed, then this is definitely a miss.

"The Golden Age of Silent Films" DVDs box set
Not a good buy. Poor prints - jerky, etc. Pity, because they are great titles. The sleeve states "Interactive Menus" and "Chapter Selections", but I could not find either. I doubt if I will watch much of it.
