I just watched Electric House and it’s really enjoyable and hilarious, I like when Buster tries to go up to the escalator only to be stuck in an endless loop or when the dinner train goes straight up to the lady and ruin her clothes, everything looks very energetic and fluid in there, I love it. This is the third time for me to watched a silent film after The Great Train Robbery and A Trip To The Moon and Electric House is my favorite of them all 🙂

*breaks through a brick wall George Reeves style* DID SOMEBODY SAY BUSTER KEATON

But seriously, I’m glad you enjoyed it! The Electric House is one of my favorite short films; it’s very clever and funny. If you want to see more like it, check out other Keaton shorts like The Goat, The Boat, One Week, Cops, or The Love Nest. Keaton is one of the best filmmakers to have ever lived and much of his work remains fresh and inspirational even today. If you want to see one of his feature films, try Sherlock Jr or Steamboat Bill Jr– they’re great places to start.

Thanks for the many suggestions! I’ve been looking foward to watch some silent classics lately
