I watched this fascinating documentary of silent star, Buster Keaton, on TCM a few days ago and found it on YouTube to share with you. It has a lot of cool facts in it. For example, did you know that when Keaton started making talkies he had to make each movie not once, but three to four times? That's because he had to make it in English, Spanish, French, and German!! And most of the time, it was a movie he didn't even like!!

So Funny It Hurt
Seven Chances (1925) is the only silent film I've seen so far (besides Mel Brook's Silent Movie, which is also very good). I highly recommend it. I have been wanting to watch more Keaton films. Several are on YouTube.
