The Official UK Silent Films Thread

[RazorwireRyan]

Welcome to the Official UK Silent Films Thread! (dunno what's so official about it...)

Thread introduction:

[Show spoiler]
If this thread goes well, I will remove this paragraph later, or spoiler tag it away for a cleaner look, but I've been thinking about doing this for a while. I want to give full credit to jasonjl for his incredible thread here which hasn't been updated in a while. I figured making a thread for the UK forum would be fine but want to namecheck him, even though my layout will be a tad different! Hopefully this can be a place where all of us silent film enthusiasts can chat about upcoming releases, older releases and more.

I've become a huge fan of silent films over the past few years, and the Blu-ray format, this forum, and jasonjl's thread, have only furthered my passion along. Hopefully there are a few other fellow silent film fanatics out there who will find some use from this thread! Please feel free to PM me or comment any I've missed, and I hope to keep this up to date for a long time to come. I'm also open to any suggestions about the layout, cheers!

The idea here is to list the UK releases primarily, and then from around the world, sectioned off mostly into studios and then everything else that seems to "fit."
