Watch the genius of Lon Chaney in the Hunchback Of Notre Dame, made for Universal in 1923, which remains today the most famous version of the classic Victor Hugo tale. Take in the expertise of John Barrymore in the 1920 Paramount release of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. John Barrymore played as the respected London physician who experiments with a drug succeeding in separating the good and evil personalities in his soul. Watch how much Barrymore enjoyed himself in this jewel by the astounding zest with which he throws himself into the more gruesome moments. This version still remains the one to beat!

Experience the daring tale of a Civil War raid of a rebel train in Buster Keaton's 1927 film The General. Enjoy the comic genius of Keaton as he uses his famous stunts to create a magnificent chase scene that lasted for seven of the original eight reels of film. Follow the innocence of "America's Sweetheart," Mary Pickford, in the 1920 children's classic tale, Pollyanna, as written by Eleanor H. Porter in 1913. As in many of Pickford's films, she plays the part of a plucky, innocent young girl, rich in spirit for whom a happy ending awaits.
