What is the best Buster Keaton movie

Forget about his sound features. His best movie in my opinion, is "The General" a true Classic.

The General deserves its claim to "masterpiece", but my #1 Keaton film is The Cameraman which beautifully works as satire, as romance, and it is overloaded with laughs and thrills.





"Scram, Sherlock. I'm working this side of the street."

I have put this on a couple of forums and I have seen Our Hospitality (1923), Sherlock, Jr. (1924), The General (1926), Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928), and The Cameraman (1928). Nothing from his later years. Did anything good come out of his work in later years besides cameos?

Truly knowing our history is truly knowing ourselves

Oh, I liked 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.' I enjoyed seeing Buster in the company of not only the old pros like Zero Mostel and Phil Silvers, but the new talent also, like Michael Crawford. I love the song 'Comedy Tonight.'

I don't know if it is his best but my favorite is College.

"50, count 'em 50, ambassadors will definitely appear at the peace conference."

Some folks here must remember a pretty good tv show from half a century back. The one I still recall is in a diner with a young gal and guy at the counter.
Buster is sitting to the right of the guy and fumbling with spoons, cups and food.
The gal can see him, and is quietly trying to get the guy to turn around, when he does, Buster has everything under control. When the guy turns to the girl, Buster starts up again, and the girl now is almost falling off *her seat trying not to burst out laughing.
Apparently neither of them recognize the man in the porkpie hat is a once famous comedian.

I love the completely original, totally unexpected, wickedly unsentimental, and wonderfully mordant ending to 'College.' The first time I watched it, I sat unbelieving for a minute--did I just see what I think I saw?--then laughed in delight. I still smile when I think of it.
