The Birth of Special Effects
An Imgur gallery demonstrating how various silent films pulled off their effects - with forced perspective, matte paintings, etc
Of course, for at least one of the examples with Buster Keaton, there is no trick; he just did it, and they filmed it.
I have a sudden urge to bridge time and space so that he can co-star in something with Jackie Chan.
No insurance company would cover the production, but it would be amazing.
