The Phantom Of The Opera (1925) ***

A classic silent horror film about a mysterious man living in secret donjons under the Opera building in Paris.

Ways To Strength And Beauty (1925) ***

Jewish Luck (1925) ***

The Freshman (1925) ***

College comedy starring Harold Lloyd. Co-directed by Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor.

Go West (1925) ***

Buster Keaton in a parody of westerns. One of his weakest films, but still quite worthwhile.

Strike (1925) ***

Sergei Eisenstein's film debut. It's the story of police repression in tsarist Russia.

Orochi (1925) ***

Silent "chambara jidai-geki" about a persecuted ronin. Directed by Buntaro Futagawa.

Lady Windermere's Fan (1925) ***

Oscar Wilde's verbal wit is hard to translate in a silent film, but it's still a fine picture.

Little Annie Rooney (1925) ***

Mary Pickford is excellent in this gritty urban melodrama directed by William Beaudine.

The Merry Widow (1925) ****

Being a silent movie, Erich von Stroheim's film adaptation of the famous operetta isn't as musically entertaining as the 1934 version starring Maurice Chevalier and Jeannette MacDonald, but it more than makes up for this sole shortcoming in every other area (the performances, the psychological depth of the characters, the quality of the mise-en-scène, the sexual tension, etc.)

The Lost World (1925) ***

Before "Jurassic Park" (1993), there was "King King" (1933). But before "King Kong", there was "The Lost World", the original dinosaur picture.

The Perfect Clown (1925) ***

Entertaining feature comedy starring Larry Semon.

The Wizard Of Oz (1925) ***

Uneven, but often very interesting adaptation of the famous story. Directed by Larry Semon (who also plays the Scarecrow). Oliver Hardy plays the Tin Woodman.

La Fille de l'eau (1925) ***

Jean Renoir's first film (or, to be more exact, his first solo film and his first released film). It's quite uneven – the first and the third part are excellent, but the second and the last part are much weaker. And unlike Renoir's later works, it's totally apolitical, with poor people who are often evil and rich people who are always good.

Tartuffe (1925) **

A silent film adaptation of the famous play by Moliere, with a modern twist.

The Unholy Three (1925) **

Silent film starring Lon Chaney as an old woman.

Cobra (1925) **

Silent drama starring Rudolpho Valentino.

Don Q: Son Of Zorro (1925) **

Slightly disappointing sequel to "The Mark Of Zorro" (1920), but set in Spain instead of California. Short on action, long on pageantry.

Parisian Love (1925) *

Directed by Louis Gasnier. A torrid (and very dated) melodrama starring Clara Bow.

The Plastic Age (1925) *

Directed by Wesley Ruggles. A college drama starring Clara Bow as a flirtatious Jazz Baby.

The Pleasure Garden (1925) *

Alfred Hitchcock's first film is not a suspense thriller, but a maudlin melodrama about two showgirls and their love affairs.

Lady Of The Night (1925) *

Norma Shearer in a double "Madonna/whore" role.

The Eagle (1925) *

A Russian "Zorro", starring Rudolpho Valentino.

Wolf Blood (1925) *

A "northern" (a western set in Canada) about two warring lumber companies.

The Midnight Girl (1925) *

Boring silent melodrama starring Bela Lugosi.

Joyless Street (1925) *

A very dated melodrama starring Greta Garbo as a young woman almost forced into prostitution to save her family from starving. A German film directed by G.W. Pabst.

In Youth Beside The Lonely Sea (1925) ***

Water Wagons (1925) ***

Very incoherent comedy with plenty of car chases and boat races. Madeline Hurlock is a spoiled young lady who loves to drive fast, Andy Clyde is her father. Quite uneven, but always dynamic. Directed by D.Lord and produced by Mack Sennett.

Good Morning Nurse (1925) ***

A picnic goes all wrong.

Super-Hooper-Dyne Lizzies (1925) ***

A comedy about an inventor (Andy Clyde) and his clumsy assistant (Billy Bevan). It's most memorable for the classic sequence with Bevan pushing a long line of cars (thinking he's only pushing his own car). The robbery scene at the end features an exceptionally disturbing example of anti-black racism in Hollywood cinema. Directed by D.Lord and produced by Mack Sennett.

Gus Visser And His Singing Duck (1925) ***

L'Heure du the (1925) ***

La Fessée a l'ecole (1925) ***

All Tied Up (1925) ***

Funny comedy, produced by Joe Rock for Standard, about three fat lodgers ("Fat" Karr, "Kewpie" Ross and "Fatty" Alexander - also knowns as "A Ton of Fun") trying to elope with a young girl. The fattest one mistakenly marries an old hag. Directed by G.Summerville.

Agenor fait un levage (1925) ***

L'Abbe Bitt au couvent (1925) ***

Bring 'Em Back Nude (1925) ***

What Price Goofy? (1925) ***

Directed by Leo McCarey. Charley Chase shares a bathroom with a professor - a young and sexy lady. Mrs Chase isn't amused. Silent comedy short excerpted in "Four Clowns" (1969).

Jubileusz 3-lecia klubu sportowego Victoria w Czestochowie (1925) ***

Dr Pyckle And Mr Pryde (1925) ***

Jeux des reflets et de la vitesse (1925) ***

The Iron Nag (1925) ***

Isn't Life Terrible (1925) ***

Some racist (and unfunny) jokes almost ruin this otherwise promising Charley Chase comedy about a family leaving their daughter behind on a boat trip, mistakingly taking a little black girl instead. Oliver Hardy has a supporting role as a lazy brother.

Butter Fingers (1925) **

A Mack Sennett comedy about baseball. One moderately amusing scene set in a bathroom, but mostly unmemorable.

Boobs In The Wood (1925) **

There is one memorable sequence in this film, with Harry Langdon riding on a log, but the rest is perfectly forgettable.

Pie-Eyed (1925) **

A drunk (Stan Laurel) wrecks havoc in a posh restaurant and tries to get back home. An angry man, who finds Stan sleeping in his bed, chases after him. Produced by Joe Rock for Standard, the film doesn't have a credited director (it might have been Stan Laurel himself). **

The Iron Mule (1925) **

A weird old train (called "Twenty-Cents Limited") is attacked by Indians. This Al St.John comedy is a parody of John Ford's "The Iron Horse" (1925), but it's mostly inspired by the train sequence from Buster Keaton's "Our Hospitality" (1923). The film was produced by E.W.Hammons for Educational Pictures. The director is unknown. 

Half A Man (1925) **

Timid Stan finds himself on a ship full of playful girls. After a shipwreck, Stan's virtue is seriously at risk. Produced by Joe Rock for Standard. Directed by Harry Sweet.

Chess Fever (1925) **

A young man is so taken with chess that he ignores his girlfriend. A Soviet film directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin and Nikolai Shpikovski

Scrambled Eggs (1925) **

Typical silent comedy.

Yes Yes Nanette (1925) *

James Finlayson visits his in-laws and fights with his wife's former beau, Oliver Hardy. Produced by Hal Roach and co-directed by Stan Laurel and Hennecke.

Lost And Found (1925) *

Little orphan Harry Langdon is separated from his childhood sweetheart. Years later, he finds she's a bearded lady in a circus.

His Marriage Wow (1925) *

A mediocre Harry Langdon comedy. Harry gets married, but later suspects his wife of trying to poison him. Directed by Harry Edwards.

Sea Squawk (1925) *

Harry Landon, cross-dressing, jewel thieves and sailors.

Sound Test (1925) *

Plain Clothes (1925) *

Harry Langdon gets involved with criminals.

Lucky Stars (1925) *

Alice Loses Out (1925) ***

Alice is a hotel manager.

Felix All Puzzled (1925) ***

Felix goes to Russia to solve a cross-word puzzle.

Alice Wins The Derby (1925) ***

Alice wins a mixed cars-and-horses race.

Alice The Toreador (1925) ***

Alice wants to become a bullfighter, but she's revealed as a fraud when her bull turns out to be a cat in disguise! Quite uneven (the best scene involves a cat smuggling his kittens across the fence), but the mix of real-life Alice and animated cartoon characters works extremely well.

Alice's Egg Plant (1925) ***

A bolshevik agitator (a hen named Henski, looking suspiciously like Trotsky) encourages Alice's hens to go on strike. A very good cartoon that perfectly reveals Walt Disney's anti-communist views and his well-known hostility towards labor unions.

Alice In The Jungle (1925) ***

Alice's Tin Pony (1925) ***

Exciting train rides with Alice.

Closer Than A Brother (1925) ***

A cat wakes up, shaves while preparing breakfast with his tail and goes to work on a poultry farm. He also flirts with Farmer Al Falfa's secretary and neglects his duties.
