My master list of all the silent films I’ve seen, including features, shorts, advertisements, movie previews, and the very short snippets from the 1880s through the early Aughts.

From the nine-volume collection The Lost Films of Laurel and Hardy (only a handful of which are talkies); they’re a mix of their films as a team, films they did together before becoming a team [tbnyat], solo stuff, and Charley Chase shorts):

72. Should Sailors Marry? (1925) (Clyde Cook short co-starring Ollie)
73. Unaccustomed As We Are (1929) (silent version of their first talkie; the glut of intertitles reveals this was meant to be a talking short and doesn’t work at all as silent comedy)

77. From Soup to Nuts (1928)

84. Fluttering Hearts (1927) (Charley Chase short co-starring Ollie)
85. That’s My Wife (1929)

88. 45 Minutes from Hollywood (1926) (tbnyat)
89. Crazy Like a Fox (1926) (Charley Chase short co-starring Ollie)

122. Don’t remember the name or if it had a title, but there was a short silent film from 1930 in a temporary exhibit in the NYS Museum on a local mental hospital which has since ceased to exist; the film concerned a woman named Mary, who was acting depressed and in a way her family believed to be mentally ill, so they sent for a doctor and sent her to a local mental hospital to cure her; we saw her treatment (a lot of it hideously out of date!), what life was like there, and her return to normal life after she was declared cured. Like a lot of the people profiled in this exhibit, nowadays she’d probably be diagnosed with PPD or depression or something, not declared mentally ill. A lot of these patients lived for decades in this home, leading normal productive lives despite not being returned to the outside world.

168. The Electric House (1922)
169. Hard Luck (1921)
170. The Blacksmith (1922)
171. The Jazz Singer (1927) (because contrary to popular belief this IS a silent film, but for some songs and one dialogue crudely synchronised and tacked on, like a more primitive hybrid such as Modern Times)

173. Daydreams (1922)
