I thought this 1924 version was so much better than the more popular 1940 version. The 1940 version was a bit cartoonish. This version was more menacing, also featured the great Anna May Wong.

Agreed. I hated the 40s version.

Very few silent films are better than the sound remake. This was one of them. Charles Heston's Ben-Hur is an iconic movie, but I thought the original silent starring Ramon Novarro was even more intense with an even better story flow.
