I mostly use Netflix. They have pretty much every silent ever released to DVD, and you can get a plan with 1 DVD out at a time for like $10 a month, plus you get unlimited access to the "Watch Instantly" section of their website which has a fair share of silents! So yeah, I basically love and recommend it.

TCM and The Paramount Theater in Austin are great too!

So what do you guys use to get your fix?

I'll watch a lot on the internet, just through searching through youtube and google video and what not, and I buy a fair amount on ebay too. I got a damn decent dvd of 4 Mary Pickford films for £4 (I think - maybe less) once.

TCM in the UK used to play silents in the early morning but only comedies and I haven't seen one on in ages - and we don't have any places like that around here, I wish we did D:!

I see a lot of them on Turner Classic Movies.
I have bought a few on DVD; last year I got a DVD collection of the works of Georges Melies--"Melies the Magician" with "The Magic of Melies", a film by Jacques Meny and also 15 of Melies short films.
Georges Melies is the filmmaker who created the famous "From the Earth to the Moon" film with the rocket stuck in the Man in the Moon's eye. His work is strange and fantastical and cool. biggrin
