See Audiophilander's post below. As great as the work is, it's probably not the gateway to a love for silent film for most viewers. Melies must be seen by all serious film students, but the works require context to be fully appreciated.Vigo - he made only one or two silent shorts to the best of my knowledge. In trying to recommend silent masterpieces, Vigo's splendid doc on Nice doesn't exactly spring to mind, andmay be hard to find. If we're talking early sound classics then his L'Atalante is a must see masterpiece of the thirties.
Luis Bunuel - a great filmmaker, but again, for a neophyte, perhaps a second course rather than the introduction. He made only one silent anyway, the famous surrealist manifesto Un chien andalou, and that with Dali. All 15 minutes of it. His second film and first feature was a sound film, L'Age d'or, also with Dali.
