The General

"Love, Locomotives and Laughs". The General is generally regarded as one of the greatest of all silent comedies. The film is based on a real incident during the American Civil War when northern soldiers hijacked a confederate train. Filled with hilarious sight gags and perfectly timed stunt work, the chase comedy is an imaginative masterpiece of dead-pan Buster Keaton comedy. »

Night of the Living Dead

The Paleface

The Paleface
1922 - 21 mins

This is one of Keaton's great two-reeler shorts, made just before his classic Cops and his subsequent launch into feature films. Keaton was at the peak of his comic powers here and the inventiveness never stops through all the surprising twists and turns. It all culminates in a plunge from a seventy-five-foot suspension bridge. »
