My favorite silent film is The Crowd by King Vidor - you can watch the entire film on Youtube, but it has not been released on DVD.
Then there is Greed by Erich von Stroheim, also not available on DVD. You can watch this one in its entirety on Youtube, as well.
I also enjoy Napoleon by Abel Gance, but unfortunately they do not have a clip on Youtube.
