Silent Movie GIFs is a wonderful Twitter feed and reddit page that features GIFs of notable scenes from legendary films that were only available during the Silent Era between 1895 to 1936. This amazing series was created and curated by Toronto resident Don McHoull, who likes “to watch silent movies, and then make gifs from them”, and features such silent film icons as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish and John Barrymore.
