Silent Films on TCM's 31 days of Oscar

Like I am sure many people reading this blog are, I am a huge fan of Turner Classic Movies. Well February 1st begins the annual 31 days of Oscar, where for 31 days, the channel plays nothing but Oscar nominated films. As always this years line up is fantastic and includes many great films. However there will be no silent Sunday night during this time. Because of this for the benefit of my fellow silent film fans, here is a listing of the silent films that will be shown on the channel during 31 Days of Oscar, so you don't miss them.
