NAZIMOVA'S SALOME
A couple of days ago I watched (on DVD) a 1923 silent film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Salome (there should be an accent over the e, but I'm not going to go look up how to do accents in html), directed by Charles Bryant and starring Alla Nazimova in the title role. Someday I may do a detailed description of this film. For now, though, I'll simply say that if you consider yourself a connoisseur of camp, or just of bad movies in general, you need to watch this film.
