Oh, yeah, The Navigator is great too. Great premise, and they follow through on it well, too.

Sherlock, Jr. is fantastic. I recall enjoying The Navigator.

2) “College” was terrible. Stick to “Sherlock, Jr,” “Three Ages” “Steamboat, Bill,” “Go West”,”The General,” “The Cameraman”…

Buster Keaton in "The Railrodder"

Kehr’s second paragraph rings very true to me. I watched “College” recently and hated it. It aired next to Lloyd’s “The Freshman” on TMC, I’d seen that one before and loved it every bit as much on rewatching. The contrast between the two was striking.

I actually really liked “The General”; I love trains and apparently so did Keaton. He did a twenty minute short for the Canada Tourism Board, one of his very last works, called “The Railrodder” that I wrote about a little while ago; definitely interesting for more than one reason and classic Keaton. I’ll return with that link in a minute…
