Any dip of the toes into the 1920s has to include some of the greatest films and stars of all time. This is the decade which started with silent films, where sound was introduced, and where, by the end of the decade, all the studios were rushing to make movies with sound. There was also a lot of experimentation with multiple images, special effects, camera movement and angles, and more. If you’ve watched movies from the 1910s you will easily notice the field quickly becoming more artistic as well as technically proficient in the 1920s. The Hays Code (censorship) had yet to be introduced, so the artists were not restricted by limitations that were enforced beginning in 1934 and would last into the 1960s.
