More in a like vein, if anyone can find any, please!

Hmm. Wouldn't this simply be a matter of finding a list of movies by date and searching for said movies?
I'm only stating this as opposed to doing it because I'm lazy and too interested in public domain books right now.

It would appear so, yes! I'm downloading the Harry Langdon movie at the moment, thanks. Thx also, JBR.

I just started watching M, but I have a hangover and the subtitles are giving me a headache in that little piddly player.

For the non-squeamish, I note that the "short subjects, trailers & other goodies" section of that silent movies multiplex thing has Bunuel's "Un Chien Andalou" for download. (haha expost not the sort of thing you want to watch while hung over)

"M" is on youtube, split into 12 sections in a larger format.

I can recommend The Golem on there. I've got Chien Andalou and M on DVD already.

What I've been trying to find (& failing), and how I found the films linked to, is the trestle railway scene from the original "Perils of Pauline". I remember seeing that when I was a kid (pauline is riding a little railway trolley along a trestle railway attached to a scary cliff, she rounds a bend and there's a steam locomotive coming towards her! OMG!) and I never found out what happened next :( God what a clip though, like something out of a nightmare!

google video has night of the living dead & plan 9 from outer space

It'll probably be like the old Flash Gordon cliffhangers, Norman, and at the start of the next episode you see something completely different to the way the last one ended.

the Prelinger archive at archive.org has some fantastic old cheese. We watched "Reefer Madness" the other day. Terrible quality print, but amusing viewing.
