Alfred Hitchcock made many silent movies. I have a good amount of them, however, I don't know how many silents he made. They star Charles Laughton, introducing Maureen O'Hara & many other older, fascinating character actors--and I find them in the $.99 stores! It's ludicrous. No matter how many there are, take time and look thru those stacks of DVD's, in the weirdest of places and you'll find gems.
MoMA's running this in a couple of hours in on a big screen in New York and I'm checking it out to see whether to go. It looks really, really good! This transitional era of silents to sound, with a soundtrack but no dialogue, is when film as an art form reached its pinnacle. See Murnau's "Sunrise," Borzage's "Seventh Heaven" or "Street Angel," or Browning's "The Unknown" with Lon Chaney, Sr. and Joan Crawford if you don't believe me.
