The very first movies did not have sound tracks. You've probably seen clips of some of these black and white movies. During these movies, frames would appear that would give a clip of significant dialogue, or a short summary of the story at that point. Piano players or organists would be watching the film and improvising music to fit the mood as the story unfolded. I think the first sound films were made in the early 1930's or so. Many movie idols of the silent era could not make the transition to "talkies" because their voices were not suited to the new medium.
Silent films are still being made, so there is no "last silent film".
However, if you are referring to the last commercially viable silent Hollywood film, then the last silent film ever produced in Hollywood was 1935's "Legong: Dance of the Virgins," released by Paramount International, and originally shown only outside the US due to concerns about female nudity in the film. The movie was filmed in Bali, Indonesia.
"Silent Movie" (1976). Stars Mel Brooks, Marty Feldman, Dom DeLuise, Sid Caesar, Harold Gould, Bernadette Peters.
I'm sure there are others, but The Artist (2011) was a silent film (with the exception of a line of dialog at the end).
