...1) a high-school freshman who introduced me to the Blackhawk Films catalogue when I was 15, and 2) living in close proximity to the fabulous Stanford Theatre, which has a real, vintage Wurltizer organ that rises out of the orchestra pit, and a very talented organ player who lends just the right music and sound effects to the silents they often run.
Oh, and it didn't hurt that the very first movie my mother ever saw was the original Cat and the Canary (1927) -- she was about 6, and remembers it scared bloody hell out of her. So that was one I had to get on tape, to see what freaked her out as a kid. :)
The General has got to be my favorite -- although I was surprised that I really enjoyed... oops, wait, which Gish picture was set against the backdrop of the French Revolution? Was that Orphans of the Storm?
Anyway, YEAH! Love 'em!
