Since someone posted a clip from The General, I thought I’d continue the Buster Keaton theme. This film is incredible, aside from some dodgy racial stuff which I implore you to try and ignore. Please focus instead on the incredible gag and stunt work from the director and star. Absolute genius.

I forgot to add I saw this with an audience (and live musicians) a few years back and it actually got gasps and spontaneous rounds of applause. The last 15 to 20 minutes is the best chase scene ever filmed. Some idiot had the idea of remaking it in the late 90’s with Chris O’Donnell. Don’t bother.
