Here's the Intertitle-o-rama , with tons of intertitle listings to choose from. Here is the Silent Era website's top 300 list. It is voted on by visitors of the site. Remember that for a film to be popular on any list, it has to be available to a large number of people to see on TCM or DVD. I actua...

Points taken - and in truth, I'm not a fan of canonical lists in film or literature - for other reasons actually. In this case, I'm doing some writing on intertitles and American film aesthetics and it would be helpful if I was working with someone else's list rather than a selection of my faves or ...

I know many people have their own "Top 10" or "Top 100" list of silents, but is there anything close to a formalized list of top silents? I know silentera.com has decent list, but it would be nice to see the equivalent of the AFI top 100 or Time's top 100 just for silents - something that requires m...

You know, this was the first thing I looked for as well - I remember watching Joan the Woman on "watch instantly" at some point. Know there doesn't even seem to be a way to browse for them.

Great! Thank you for the information!

Darren,

I hadn't noticed it, but I'm really impressed that you did. I love things like this. I'm always a bit tickled by grammatical errors in title cards - I hada really good one - I'll see if I can dig it up.

Deverett, That would be incredibly helpful. Can you tell me the book info? I don't know much about the technical end of things, so I'm working through some rudimentary questions. For example, the Eastman house has several intertitles, but they are white with black lettering. This seems odd to me sin...

Chris,

Thank you - It looks like the best way to try to reach him is through Cinecon.

Hi! For those of you that are interested, I have actually found one intertitle: A 1926 card from the film The Caveman. They've got it at the Margaret Herrick Library in California and I'm going to arrange a visit. I never thought it would be this hard! If I had the ability to chase down Penfold's le...

Thanks again for all the replies. An actual intertitle has become even more elusive and that makes it even more fun to track down. I'm encouraged by the report of actually seeing one. I'm going to keep doing some digging, and I'll post if I find anything.

Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed replies! I really like how active this group is. Now - for some quick replies. 1. It was actually the creator of the intertitle-o-rama site that sent me to this one. It is a really impressive resource. 2. I love the intertitles you posted, especially the one f...

Hello. I'm hoping some of the historians might be able to help me a bit. I'm doing some research on intertitles, and it seems like a logical place to start would be actually seeing one. However, I'm not at all sure where to start looking. Are there archives in the Hollywood area that may have kept s...
