One of my favorite modern b&w "silent" movies is Brand Upon the Brain by Guy Maddin, a Canadian filmmaker. (It's partially narrated by Isabella Rossellini, hence not completely silent.) It's beautifully shot and kinda twisted. Just about every frame looks like it could be its own still photograph.
He's done a bunch of feature-length and short films as well. Another good one is The Saddest Music in the World. (Also with Isabella Rossellini and Mark McKinney from Kids in the Hall.)
