Yes; I'm a huge fan, but they are very hard to find (for me, at least). Every now and again, I come across one on video that someone had from a few years ago, and I've found a few DVDs in the $1 DVD displays at my local Target. Diligence is about the only way I've gotten my hands on these wonderful bits of early 20th Century cinema.
To Stargurl: they put the dialogue on a still card and filmed the graphic long enough so movie viewers could read what the actors were saying to one another. The "music track" for the film was generally played by a pianist or organist in the theater.

Oh yes. Turner Classics has great silent movies. Sunday nights I think. Have you seen Blood and Sand with Rudolph Valentino? Movie stars in those days didn't need words, as Nora Desmond (in Sunset Blvd.) said. They had faces.

The best Christmas present I ever got was a Buster Keaton collection. I don't know anyone who's seen The General who doesn't love it. As far as actors doing their own stunts, he makes Jackie Chan look like a creampuff. Chaplin and Langdon are great, too. Alot of what's being done today with computers was done 90 years ago, the hard way.
