Lately I've been watching short silent films directed by Edwin S. Porter.

He directed many films during the 1900s/1910s.

I like most of the films I've seen by him. His directing style is very old-fashioned, which is fine with me.

Does anyone else on here have any thoughts on him?

Legendary director. Are there many available?
