Comedies of the American silent screen, the slapstick and character comedy of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and their contemporaries, with chases, stunts and visual gags that needed no spoken dialogue. A work belongs here when its article calls it an American silent comedy or a romantic comedy of the silent era. It excludes silent dramas, epics and horror films. Works are placed by what their cited article states about their country, form and period, and each work sits in exactly one group of this subcategory, so a film that fits two traditions goes where its article places it first.
