Suffering greatly from silent fatigue after that finish-line marathon! I underestimated greatly what I would find. Only got to search 1900-1908 + 1918-1929. I'll do the rest outside of any challenge. Its been fun to see what I'd discover. Found 173 short films and 61 features, if my count is correct. To be honest, besides the two long serials, the features would probable average at under an hour each, as most of them are programmers or had bits missing from them. But they were all new to me, so I'm happy with the finds.
70. Beverly of Graustark (1914, Klaw & Erlanger) - 4/10
--- First I thought I was watching Beverly of Graustark (1926), and was thinking to myself how different Marion Davies looked in that part. Then I noticed that the 1926 one was a remake of a film called The Prince of Graustark (1916), and the actress looked a lot more like Marguerite Clayton. Not to mention the production values looked a lot more like a 1910s movie than one made with MGM splendor. But it turns out it's most likely a Beverly of Graustark (1914), which was listed as a short, but is really a feature, starring Linda Arvidson. Regardless, I'd yet to see that movie either, and did enjoy it. Simple (fake) royal romance with a mild smile.
71. Finlandia (1922, Erkki Karu & Eero Leväluoma) - 4/10
--- A long patriotic documentary showing all kinds of aspects of Finland, from agriculture, to sports, and military force. Solid and unadventurous, production wise. Not too exciting, but had it's cool moments. Loved the wrestling exhibition!
72-77. La maison du mystère [The House of Mystery] (1923, Alexandre Volkoff) - 6/10 - 364min
--- You got to have patience for this 10-part silent serial, which clocks in at over 6 hours long. La maison du mystère [The House of Mystery] (1923) is not a perfect story, but it sure has a lot of amazing aspects to it. First off, that silhouette party sequence! That was a brilliant touch! Had some thrilling action as well, along with a story which went in all kinds of directions. That did mean some down-time. It also means some super up-time. And perhaps if I had treated it as a mini-series and stretched it out a little, instead of doing it in one sitting, it wouldn't have been so exhausting. But as it stands, it's an adventure that delivers a lot.
78. South of Panama (1928, Charles J. Hunt) - 4/10
--- Lewis Sargent almost came across as Harold Lloyd with those glasses and comic character in this adventure south of the border. Of course, South of Panama (1928) was technically a drama, which was why it was so weird to see such a over-the-top character in this. But I guess that helped make a very standard B-movie a little more fun.
79. Lash of the Whip (1926, Francis Ford) - 5/10
--- Lash of the Whip (1926) was quite an action-packed programmer from Francis Ford. Has Ashton Dearholt as a whippin' hero, and I found this perfect for a quick western fix. Was clearly not meant to be anything amazing, but was well-paced enough to work.
80. Sunshine of Paradise Alley (1926, Jack Nelson) - 5/10
--- Felt like a highlight reel of many different movies.
81. The Golden Trail (1925, William Bertram) - 3/10
--- Plain silent western. Perfectly watchable, but not one that sets itself apart or delivers anything memorable. Which is why it's one of the forgotten ones starring one of the forgotten ones, Dick Carter.
82. Big Pal (1925, John G. Adolfi) - 3/10
--- Big Pal (1925) is a little movie about little kids and a big boxer. I guess it was cute in it's way, but highly irrelevant in the big scheme of things. Barely a B-feature.
83. The Fighting Adventurer (1924, Tom Forman) - 4/10
--- All over the place ridiculous for an adventure movie, though they do warn you at the start of the movie that it's your own fault if you take this movie seriously. So if you can go with the silliness of The Fighting Adventurer (1924), you might enjoy it. Does have Warner Oland doing one of his oriental gimmicks and the main attraction, Mary Astor, was as adorable as ever.
84. Enchantment (1921, Robert G. Vignola) - 5/10
--- One of Marion Davies pleasant pictures. Adorable when they kept simple and easy going. They tried it a little more artsy and emotional when it came time for the moral of this light flapper story, and honestly that didn't click all that well with me. Too ambitious for it's own good. Nice try, though.
85. What Do Men Want? (1921, Lois Weber) - 4/10
--- Lois Weber giving a story the female touch. Sadly only 40 of 70 minutes still exists, but you get a good enough dose of the drama to feel it. Though, not any closure.
86. Mothers of Men (1917, Willis Robards) - 3/10
--- Mothers of Men (1917) tries so hard to be gender progressive, with it's story of a female governor. But the story is clobbered with desperate storylines to create it's female heartache, that it doesn't ring home for me.
87. The Woman in Black (I) (1914, Lawrence Marston) - 4/10
--- Young lads Lionel Barrymore & Alan Hale in a political gypsy romance filled with dirty tricks. The plot is a little too out there to be taken serious, but it does manage to be a mildly alluring drama. One of Hale's earliest features (at least if one count the extended cut which was released a couple of years later).
88. The Call of the North (1914, Oscar Apfel & Cecil B. DeMille) - 3/10
--- The most interesting thing about The Call of the North (1914) was the intro where the directors Cecil B. DeMille & Oscar Apfel welcomed each of the characters one-by-one before the show started. The film was a routine western style drama. Not too many thrills.
89. Narayana (1920, Léon Poirier) - 4/10
--- The print I saw had a low-key psychedelic electronic soundtrack, which was okay playing up to the exotic weirdness of the film. Unfortunately they had also put over a stupid low-resolution filter over the movie for artistic effect, which took away from the viewing experience. If I find a pure version of Narayana (1920), I'll re-watch it. The allure was still there. Wasn't sure what was going on half the time, but the images kept keeping my attention. Odd, and almost hypnotic.
90. Die Jagd nach der Hundertpfundnote oder Die Reise um die Welt [The Hunt for the One Hundred Pound Note or The Journey Around the World] (1913, Willy Zeyn) - 5/10
--- The first adaptation of Journey Around the World in 80 days! And can you imagine, they managed to wrap those 80 days up in less than 50 minutes! I know silent films crank it up a little, but that's ridiculous! Sure was fun! They had enough scenarios to pick from and they really packed it in! Rushed as hell, though.
91. Tischlein deck dich, Eselein streck dich, Knüppel aus dem Sack (1921, Wilhelm Prager) - 4/10
--- Don't think I've read this fairytale before, but it had a donkey shitting gold coins so it was alright in my book! Playful German silent. The era is perhaps most famous for it's Expressionism, but they also had these amateur mayhem productions as well.
92. Die Ahnfrau [The Ancestress] (1919, Jacob Fleck & Luise Fleck) - 5/10
--- Ghost on the loose! And she's out to kill! I liked the haunted nature of this Austrian silent. The atmosphere was darker than I had expected and it was a quality horror overall, the old school way.
93. Virtuous Sinners (1919, Emmett J. Flynn) - 4/10
--- Very economic at times and not the most engaging of stories, but the girl, Wanda Hawley, portrayed the suffering young lady perfectly. An adequate melodrama.
94. A Rosa do Adro (1919, George Pallu) - 3/10
--- Brazilian drama of the silent kind. A bit soapy, but otherwise not that bad. Not really the type of story which grabs me. At least not with the language barrier. But I've seen worse melodramas come out of that country.
