The first major sound success was The Jazz Singer in 1927 (though short sound movies of people singing musical numbers had been released in cinemas before then). By 1930 almost all movies released were in sound.
The silent film era came to a close in the US in 1930 with the wide adoption of sound in theaters. In 1976 Mel Brooks made a film, "Silent Movie". This was a comedy starring Mel Brooks, Marty Feldman, Dom DeLuise, Sid Caesar, Harold Gould, Ron Carey, Bernadette Peters. It was co-written and directed by Mel Brooks. The plot is a film director and his friends struggling to produce the first major silent film in forty years.
In 2011 the Academy Award for best film went, astonishingly, to a silent film, the first in 80 years (WINGS won the first Oscar for best film), the French film THE ARTIST. Young filmmakers often begin their career in the 21st century with short silent films, as the technical demands for sound are often outside their budgets.
Dafna Kory, Rex Curry Harsin, and a few others have made independent silent films that have been screened at Le Giornate del Cinema Muto, the world's largest silent film festival, held in Pordenone, Italy each year. There, old films are shown, discussed, and the restored versions from archives in places like Bologna, Amsterdam (Haghefilm), UCLA, the Library of Congress, George Eastman House and the British Film Institute, have brought new awareness of the great beauty of silent film today's young audiences.
At major Film Festivals, on college campuses, on Turner Classic Movies, and on DVDs, silent films are experiencing a revival, often with new scores commissioned by the festivals or DVD producers. Proper projection speed and ppropriate musical accompaniment is crucial for the maximum enjoyment of great films. New composers of silent film music include Donald Sosin, Neil Brand, Gabriel Thibaudeau, Maud Nellison, Stephen Horne, the Alloy Orchestra, and Philip Carli, while musicians like theater organist Dennis James, conductor Robert Israel, and Rodney Sauer with his Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra keep the original music of the teens and 20's alive through careful compilation scores.
In that sense, silent films have not ended, they continue to be discovered anew by each generation, and the possibilities of digital preservation are helping to ensure that they will be around for a long time.
1927-1929 (though the odd silent movie would still be made in the 1930's, like City Lights by Charlie Chaplin in 1931). The transition wasn't instantaneous because many silent movies were in production at the time, and studios were reluctant to transition.
Since all of the early films were silent movies, the question is more along the lines of "When did movies become popular?"
The first motion picture (as we know it) was exhibited in 1896, and the very concept of pictures that moved drew in the crowds, so you could say that movies were popular right from the beginning.
Talkies had been invented and silent movies for the most part were no longer popular.
The first silent films were in the 1920's. They did have a piano play along with the action on the film.

What was the last silent movie made?
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.
