Pick your movie of the week: Silent Films! (Mar 10-16/17)

I purposely left out Chaplin and Keaton on this because they’ve showed up more than once in our past choices, especially Charlie. Assuming you haven’t seen these, feel free base your vote on the plot description:

Safety Last! (1923)When a store clerk organizes a publicity stunt, in which a friend climbs the outside of a tall building, circumstances force him to make the perilous climb himself.

Metropolis (1927)In a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city’s mastermind falls in love with a working class prophet who predicts the coming of a saviour to mediate their differences.

The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)A chronicle of the trial of Jeanne d’Arc on charges of heresy, and the efforts of her ecclesiastical jurists to force Jeanne to recant her claims of holy visions.
