For as long as film has existed as an entertainment medium, so has film comedy. ... Comedy was one of the most popular formats in the early years of cinema and has remained so ever since."

We limit the list to films that were produced to be silent films exclusively (synchronized music tracks are acceptible, but part-talkies and talkies that have only survived as silents are out).

TSPDT's Ain't Nobody's Blues but My Own
Favs/dislikes: 70:11. As a counterpart to the fairly mainstream TSPDT top 1000 list, the Ain't Nobody's Blues But My Own list has been created.

The list hadn't been on the website of TSPDT for several years and hadn't been updated for many years as well. In January 2019 the owner of the site sent us a new update. It's not listed on his website, but you can view the spreadsheet [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EJKX9yOpKk3dT9BizPambwxhbjfMd7QAWxzlT31l4f8/edit?usp=sharing]here[/url].

The site's whole reason for being is to celebrate the quirky films that I find so enjoyable." [url=http://www.badmovies.org/movies/index.html]Source[/url]
