The Art of Buster Keaton (The General / Sherlock, Jr. / Our Hospitality / The Navigator / Steamboat Bill Jr. ...
Buster Keaton
Kino Video, 2001
"This fellow Keaton appears to be the whole show."
Thus utters a confused patron of a vaudeville house who is confronted by Buster Keaton and his minstrels accompanied by a conductor and his orchestra, all clones of Buster Keaton in the classic short "The Playhouse". He really was the whole show during his independent ...

First Kings of Comedy Collection ("The Golden Age Of Comedy" and "When Comedy Was King")
Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy
Genius Entertainment, 2007
Nostalgia and great service
These are hard to find Laurel and Hardy shorts. With one click, the videos were on their way. The service at Amazon is great and the videos are in sterling quality and exactly what I ordered.

Buster Keaton
St Clair Vision, 2007
as funny as ever
When I was younger, approx. 15 or 16 I worked at a pizza parlor. They played these old movies up on the wall for the customers to watch as they ate their pizza. I would sit and watch people laughing as they ate, and I would love it. Well... these movies are STILL that ...

PAJAMA PARTY is probably the second best-loved sequel of the original BEACH PARTY (the first has to be the quintessential BEACH BLANKET BINGO). The party moves indoors for the wonderful romp with Annette Funicello and the gang. Connie (Annette Funicello) finds herself ...

Hollywoodland
I just watched "Sunset Boulevard" for the first time. I absolutley loved it. I usually stay away from "black and white" movies, considering they are not from my generation. The only other old movies I've seen are "To Kill A Mockingbird", and parts of "It's a ...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers
MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
Richard Lester Classic
I love Richard Lester's style of direction( Hard Day's Night, The Ritz, Three Muskateer's etc). Zero Mostel in a role that rivals his performance in the Producer's will have you rolling on the floor. Phil Silvers is at his best as a wheeler dealer. The Roman Empire ...

The Best Arbuckle/Keaton Collection
Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keaton
Image Entertainment, 2002
Very funny comedy from the late Teens
I rented this from the local library and liked it so much and found it so great and funny that I knew I would have to buy myself my own copy later. A lot of people who aren't familiar with the genre at all constantly assert that silent comedy was little more than pie ...

Buster Keaton Collection (The Cameraman / Spite Marriage / Free & Easy)
Richard Alexander, Sidney Bracey
Warner Home Video, 2004
To be a Keaton fan is to have your heart broken regularly...
...someone somewhere once wrote. This DVD set is an object lesson as to how that heartbreak occurred. It shows how Keaton declined in status from independent comic filmmaker to sad clown to someone whom the film industry considered an unemployable alcoholic in only a ...
