i have earlier see modern time ( which actually god dialog and singing in it ) and city light ( which have melody in it ) and both be great ( i need to rewatch city light though . anyways and today i watch my first true silent film . the thief of bagdad ( 1924 ) and it will most probably land in my top 50 or close to it . that mean it good than any 30 film i have see . i just love pretty much everything with this film and surprisingly enough the special effect ( without count the horse rid on the sky ) be perfect . fairbanks and the rest of the cast be to my surprise extremely good too and who would have think that about a silent . i be just truly glad i decide to give this film a try . it only problem be the constant changing of color which would disappear if someone take the time to restore it . overall 98 . 5 % .
