All great recommendations here. I would also suggest you look up Georges Méliès. Pioneered many early special effect film techniques.

I'm going to second many of the recommedations here, but I will add another Buster Keaton movie - Our Hospitality.
I laughed my arse off when I watched it. It has some of my all-time favorite gags in any movie.

Thought up a list of silents I like, but not the kind that usually get very widely cited all that much. Luckily, a lot of these films have been getting nice restorations and disc releases with appropriate music scores. For so many years, slews of these silents were only seen in shabby, worn public-domain 16mm prints with awful needle-drop scores, all of which really inhibited their potential impact, as well as entertainment value. But nowadays we're getting to see a lot of these in vastly better presentations. As for a few I like:
1. "A Girl's Folly" (1917) Doris Kenyon
2. "The Apple Tree Girl" (1917) Shirley Mason
3. "Old Wives for New" (1918) Elliott Dexter
4. "Stella Maris" (1918) Mary Pickford
5. "The Toll Gate" (1920) William S. Hart
6. "Outside the Law" (1921) Priscilla Dean
7. "Too Wise Wives" (1921) Claire Windsor
8. "Wild Oranges" (1924) Frank Mayo
9. "Paths to Paradise" (1925) Raymond Griffith
10. "Variety" (1925-German) Emil Jannings
11. "The Red Kimono" (1925) Priscilla Bonner
12. "Stage Struck" (1925) Gloria Swanson
13. "The Great K&A Train Robbery" (1926) Tom Mix
14. "Skinner's Dress Suit" (1926) Reginald Denny
15. "Stark Love" (1927) Forrest James
16. "The Matinee Idol" (1928) Bessie Love
17. "13 Washington Square" (1928) Jean Hersholt
18. "Asphalt" (1929-German) Betty Amann
19. "The Pagan" (1929) Ramon Novarro
20. "Redskin" (1929) Richard Dix
1. "A Girl's Folly" (1917) Doris Kenyon
2. "The Apple Tree Girl" (1917) Shirley Mason
3. "Old Wives for New" (1918) Elliott Dexter

Lost John Ford Film 'The Scarlet Drop' Found in Warehouse After Nearly 100 Years
quote:
Film historians and fans of lost movies have reason to be extra thankful this holiday season. “The Scarlet Drop,” a 1918 silent film directed by John Ford and starring Harry Carey that was previously thought to be lost to history, could soon become available to watch.
A complete print of the film has reportedly been discovered in a warehouse set for demolition in Santiago, Chile (via The National). The day before the building was destroyed, workers unearthed a collection of film prints — including the most-complete known copy of “The Scarlet Drop” — that belonged to a deceased collector.

City Lights is freaking great. Easily my favorite silent film.
