A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum (1966) ***

Excellent comedy set in Ancien Rome.

Beach Blanket Bingo (1965) ***

Probably the best of all "beach blanket" musical comedies starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon.

It's A Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad World (1963) ***

A madcap chase comedy with an all-star cast.

Around The World In 80 Days (1956) *

Incredibly dull travelogue masquarading as a movie. By far worst film ever to win an Academy Award for best picture. Unbelievably, it also received an Oscar for best editing, even though it's one of the worst-paced films of all time.

Limelight (1952) ***

Chaplin's last Hollywood film.

Sunset Boulevard (1950) *****

A great classic of Hollywood cinema, starring William Holden as a failed screenwriter who finds himself in a mansion of an aging movie star (Gloria Swanson).

In The Good Old Summertime (1949) ***

Gentle folk musical starring Judy Garland, a remake of "The Shop Around The Corner" (1940).

L'il Abner (1940) *

Silent greats Buster Keaton (Lonesome Polecat), Edgar Kennedy (Cornelius Cornpone), Chester Conklin (Mayor Gurgle) and Al St. John (Joe Smithpan) appear in this otherwise mediocre adaptation of Al Capp's immortal comic strip about those zany barefoot hillbillies from Dogpatch, Arkansas. Not nearly as good as the 1959's musical version.

Speak Easily (1932) *

Buster Keaton plays a college professor who believes that he inherited a fortune and decides a finance a Broadway show.

Parlor, Bedroom And Bath (1931) *

One of the weakest of Buster Keaton's sound comedies. Completely unfunny.

Free And Easy (1930) ***

Buster Keaton's first, and best, "talkie". A bit uneven, but a fascinating peek behind the curtains of the MGM studio at the dawn of the sound era. Musical numbers include:

"It Must Be You" **

"Free And Easy" **

"It Must Be You" (reprise) *

Spite Marriage (1929) ****

Fast-paced, hilarious, exciting and totally unpredictable comedy starring Buster Keaton.

The Hollywood Revue Of 1929 (1929) ***

The first all-talking, all-singing, all-dancing all-star musical revue, produced by MGM.

Steamboat Bill, Jr (1928) ****

The first half of this film is quite ordinary, but the second half contains some of the most memorable scenes ever captured on film (including entire buildings falling down on Buster Keaton).

The Cameraman (1928) ***

Typical Buster Keaton comedy with many funny gags.

College (1927) ***

This is undoubtedly Buster Keaton's weakest silent film, but it still has quite a few amusing gags (including a truly memorable, very bizarre finale).

The General (1926) *****

The best silent comedy of all times, starring Buster Keaton as a Southern railway engineer trying to recover his locomotive stolen by Union spies during the Civil War. Perfectly directed and screamingly funny.

Battling Butler (1926) ***

Buster pretends to be a boxing champion to marry a pretty mountain girl. The most underrated of all Keaton's silent comedies. Quite amusing.

Seven Chances (1925) ****

Buster has to marry a girl or loose his inheritance. Excellent comedy full of frantic chases. Remade as ''The Bachelor".

Go West (1925) ***

Buster Keaton in a parody of westerns. One of his weakest films, but still quite worthwhile.
