wow - when i saw the answers i figured i was screwed. i didn't know about some of the silent versions - but there are still a couple that could be quibbled over - but since i'm a hunter i make no arguments

although - i'll admit at one point thinking V was being very tricky with the phrase 'silver screen.' that phrase wasn't coined until about 1924 when a theater owner in ohio tried silver metallic paint on his white screen to get better projection - the technique and phrase caught on and that's why it's the silver screen - so if you followed the question in a strict sense anything before 1924 was not 'on the silver screen.'

still - great show V - another real brain bender and proof that there is a lot more to horror than just splatter and gore (not that i mind splatter and gore).

now - when do i get to kill someone??? (oh - and can we get a health status report before the hunt begins!)
