Description of Silent Movie [NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Spain]:
One of Mel Brooks's weaker vehicles, this 1976 feature finds a movie producer (Brooks) deciding that the public is ready for the silent film form again. Reasonably ambitious and promising, the film ultimately doesn't do for silent cinema what Brooks did for atmospheric horror (by reviving it while parodying it) in Young Frankenstein. Lots of famous faces pass through Silent Movie, to varying effect. Perhaps the best joke in the movie is the one performer who actually has a line of dialogue: mime Marcel Marceau. --Tom Keogh

Silent Movie [NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Spain] Reviews:
THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME!!!
2009-11-19 - I think this movie has a great sense of humor, and I also like this movie because it was directed by my favorite director Mel Brooks. PS if you are Mel Brooks, U ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Brooks' funny love letter to the silent film genre
2009-11-08 - Compared to his previous efforts, "Blazing Saddles" & "Young Frankenstein", "Silent Movie" falls a bit short of satirizing the silent film genre. There are some genuinely funny moments, courtesy of Mel, Marty Feldman, Dom DeLuise, Sid Caesar, Harold Gould & Ron Carey leading the list. Brooks opted for Bernadette Peters as leading lady this time, and she's perfectly cast, looking as if she stepped right out of a silent movie. There are some wonderful slapsticks gags here, often accentuated by Brooks' politically incorrect tone.
Several familiar faces (including Brooks' wife, Anne Bancroft, in a very funny nightclub scene) cross the camera lens (sadly, most of the cast is gone now). The one guest star who steals the show is legendary mime Marcel Marceau, who, ironically, is the only actor who utters a symbolic word: "NO!" Brooks has confessed that he had grown up watching silents (his favorite comedian was the great Buster Keaton) & developed a deep love & respect for them. So, it was natural for him to try a silent comedy within a silent film. The results are mixed: Strangely, the lack of sound makes the film seem slower than it really is, in spite of the frenetic slapstick.
A notch below his finer work; but it's an often funny & endearing little comedy from Brooks.

Expresses the joy of what can be done if you make a movie without sound
2009-07-02 - This movie really is a lot of fun, and it's absolutely hilarious. It didn't get a whole lot of publicity, but it's just as wonderful as YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, though not quite as great as THE PRODUCERS. There one great sight gag after another. Every minute of the movie is just classic. The cast is great. It's also Mel Brooks' cleanest movie that I know of. Great family fun. I want to mention one sight gag. The heroes are surrounded (I won't spoil it by saying why), and they use a use coke machine to attack. I can't tell you more, or I'll just be spoiling great scenes. You have to see it for yourself, but I'll tell you this, it's all hysterical. And as I said before, besides being funny, it's great fun. By the way, it's not really a silent movie. There are a lot of sound effects.

Classic
2009-06-03 - Only Mel Brooks would make a silent movie ABOUT a silent movie. In classic style, Silent Movie is ridiculous and outright hilarious. If you loved ANY of his other movies, order this one for you will not be disappointed! The shower scene with Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise, Mel Brooks, and Marty Feldman alone is enough to both give you nightmares and keep you laughing for days.

Wonderful Movie.
2009-06-01 - Silent Movie is a wonderful Mel Brooks flick, containing all the fun you would expect in a Mel Brooks movie.

The best part, though, is you can watch it with friends and talk loudly though it - not missing a single piece of action!
