One of Chaney's most powerful performances was in 1923's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, based on the novel by Victor Hugo. His portrayal of the misshapen Quasimodo is his best known work, next to The Phantom of the Opera. A historical piece with minor horror elements, it is definitely worth seeing. If you do, make sure it's accompanied by music. I had owned a copy with no soundtrack at all. No matter how good a silent film is, they are tough to sit through when completely devoid of sound.
