Sherlock, Jr. (1924)

“A century old this year and it HOLDS UP! This is easily one of my favorite silent movies and had me laughing throughout. Also had many moments when I thought, "how did they do THAT?!"

Outstanding physical comedy as always from the legendary Buster Keaton” read more

A classic

“Even though I grew up watching the movies of Charles Chaplin, I have to admit I had been rather oblivious regarding Buster Keaton for a very long time and I discovered his work much later as an adult. Well, to be honest, so far, after watching around 5 of his movies, I can’t say I have become a huge fan of Buster Keaton's work. However, since this movie had a rather stellar reputation, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, I wasn't disappointed, that's for sure. Indeed, the damned thing was just a total blast and easily one of the best silent comedies I have seen so far. Indeed, as usual with Keaton, the whole thing was quite random but, in the contrary to his other movies, it actually did work fine here. Basically, most of the duration was just a dream but it didn't stop here a” read more
