1. I think "The Sheik" was the first silent film I ever saw, many years ago.

It was a novelty, something my mum remembered from her youth, but then there was this closeup of Valentino looking
straight into the camera, and I thought "Oh, wow! I know what those ladies of the twenties were on about!"

He transcended the decades, at least for me.
