Films on Hollywood
Kevin Brownlow, David Gill and Photoplay's:
Hollywood series (first, foremost and last)
The Unknown Chaplin
A Hard Act to Follow: Keaton
Llloyd
Griffith (except that's mostly not Hollywood, same with Cinema Europe)
Before the Nickleodeon (Charlie Musser) also not Hollywood, but important for
the pre-history
Mary Pickford: A Life on Film (our film, but still good and she WAS Hollywood)
Show People (not a documentary, but the best fictional film on the silent
film days)
The Man You Loved to Hate (von Stroheim)
The Alice Guy Blache doc that Woman Makes Movies has
I'll think of more, but on the silent film history, Tony Slides book on Films
on Film History gives a great list of docs made before 1978 or so.
