Sherlock Jr. (1924)

Buster Keaton is comedy gold. His expressions and physical form of comedy is perfect for silent films. I found this more enjoyable than The General. I laughed more and found the effects and gags to be more creative and varied. The shorter running time also helps. It is more than clever gags but also builds quite a lot of suspense - like the pool scene.
