My favorite Busters (a Buster Keaton movie list)

Some funny bits.

A bit morbid but good.

I've always thought there's something depressing about this movie.

Fun and messy.

I've never been a fan of Cops.

I don't think this works as well as it should somehow. Being a Buster film, there could have been tons of more gags and tricks in the style of Scarecrow or One Week.

A William S. Hart parody and one of the strangest Buster shorts (with one violent scene and an Erich von Stroheim impression).

I think some of the jokes seem a bit forced.

Very similar to the Arbuckle/Keaton film The Garage.

A few great moments, for example at the dinner table. The Polish phrases make it extra special.

I love the scene where Arbuckle serves the soup using a sponge.

There are some funny jokes in it.

Plus a falling wall gag.

Quite tiresome. Is there really something funny about hundreds of desperate old maids chasing Buster around town?

I think College is dull. I can hardly remember watching it.

It's sad that there are only fragments of Moonshine left.

Quite funny and charming but with a slight sense of melancholia. A big chase sequence in the end, much like in Seven Chances and Cops.

A bit slow, a bit dull.

Spite Marriage could've easily been a Harold Lloyd film; it's a bit slow ...and I think it lacks spark.

A somewhat sad cameo.

Buster's first talkie. I think this gets better toward the end.

Lots of fun and great dancing.

Another perfect movie.

Damfino!

Awesome and fascinating gags.

The scary portrait of the captain, soaked playing cards and other hilarious moments.

Clever stunts and an all-around superb short.

A Buster classic.

A terrific, entertaining film (though there's some nasty stuff in it as well). But Arbuckle is particularly great in this and I love the fact that the idea of the story came from Natalie Talmadge.

I love One Week because it's one of the first Buster films I saw. It's also wonderful with elaborate gags.

Lots of glue and running around in a haunted house with tricky ghosts and the cast of Faust.

Lots of fun and Buster laughing.

Great jokes and tricks, final scenes are grand.

A perfect movie! Unique and brilliant.

I'm interested in Natalie and that's one of the reasons I like this movie. It's also a very amusing film.

I think this says it all:

Surprisingly gentle and funny, it has a wonderful mood.

Buster's debut.

It's outstanding in the beginning but then it gets a little dull, but maybe that's just me. Buster makes a great monkey.

Surprisingly good after some less funny shorts.
