Silent Sunday Nights airs, you've guessed it, Sunday nights on Turner Classic Movies (TCM).  I subscribe to Time Warner Cable and it's channel 420 on my "dial". I apologize but I have no idea what the satellite equivalent is. As you might have figured out, Silent Sunday Nights highlights some of the silent era's most memorable or influential motion pictures. Just last week, they showed Intolerance, considered to be one of director DW Griffiths most monumental works. This past October, on Halloween night, the selection was Nosferatu. This is one of those movies that, even after almost 90 years, is one of the scariest (in a weird way) ever made. Coming up this Sunday, January 2nd, 2011, the movie that will be showing is Tokyo Chorus from 1931. It's billed as comedy even though it's set in depression era Japan. If you want to give your eyes a break from all the HDTV color, check out Silent Sunday Nights.
