just rewatched a couple of my buster keaton dvds.

to be specific...
"the navigator" & "the general"

was curious to see if there were any buster fans out there and what your favorite performances or gags of his were.

Wow, I hate to admit this, but I've actually never seen a Buster Keaton movie. Maybe way back in film school, though I don't recall.

What's a good one to start off with?

I know Keaton best as someone who fell down a lot. And as the guy the wall fell on. I don't have a ton of film knowledge until they started calling them talkies, but I'm always interested in seeing more cool stuff.

Aye, me too. Keaton was always the guy the wall fell on, and that's about it. Will be checking on "the general" very soon.
