Hi folks,

Benj and I originally called our interactive chapter "See movies at www.fwfr.com/theater" but the publisher wants a four-word pun/joke title that is similiar to our other chapter titles.

These are the films that are made before 1924 -- they are old, silent and B&W. They're not all obscure -- it was tough to find just obscure films so we added The Birth of a Nation, Nosferatu, and Gerat Train Robbery.

Any suggestions would be great. Everyone on this site is quite brilliant so we value your input. We have used some of your previous suggestions, such as " Some Four-Drawn Conclusions" for the Animation chapter.

I like this idea. I thought of something along the same lines, but this works better.

Would've been a lot better had it used one of the vast majority of terms that don't differ between British and American English.

If all the chapter titles are foury or punny, this won't do, but otherwise how about

Valentino. Keaton. Lloyd. Chaplin.

Or if they are, how about

Silents: Gone, Not Fourgotten.
