How many of you have attended a silent movie in a theater with a live orchestra or organ?

What movie did you see? I've seen two performances of 1925's "The Phantom of the Opera" (organ) and a performance of 1922's "Nosferatu" (orchestra). It's an experience not to be missed, if you have the opportunity to go.

    I saw Nosferatu with the music played live by a weird Industrial/metal band called Terminatryx. It was interesting

    Not with live orchestra or organ. I saw the re-processed film of "Sherlock Holmes" {William Gillette) with organ dubbed in, several Mary Pickford films with live piano accompaniment, Nosferatu, and a Buster Keaton film (I can't recall the title) with dubbed piano or organ.
