The General (1927)

Buster Keaton really is that good

This was my introduction to silent films and remains my favorite. Buster Keaton is INSANE. Just watch the movie and you'll know what I'm talking about. This is the physical comedy your grandparents talk about and damn are they right. After watching this I can actually understand the argument that some make that in many ways the silent films were a more pure experience. These actors really had to give it their all. If you get to see this with any kind of live accompaniment instead of just some crappy public domain music, be sure to do that.
