I went to see Buster Keaton's "Steamboat Bill Jr." today, with live accompaniment, and man was it good! I'd highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. Cool fact about the film: Keaton performed all his own stunts, and the following one, which the producers tried to convince him not to do, was so dangerous that the camera man couldn't watch: he set the camera rolling and turned away. Of course, it worked just fine. But still!

If that clip doesn't play (it's uk youtube, so it might not) just search for buster keaton steamboat bill jr. on youtube: it's the clip that 11 seconds long.
Pure genius.
