It's the first I've heard of One, Two, Three as well, but Demdike's review has firmly put it on my radar and it's one I'll add to my wish list and/or basket somewhere.

September 4th, 1927 - Buster Keaton films probably the most famous stunt of his career for 'Steamboat Bill, Jr' There was a two inch space on either side of both of his shoulders, a two inch space above his head, and a two inch space below his feet. The front of the house weighed a two ton! It was the most dangerous stunt ever performed in silent film and yes, two inches off in any direction could have killed him

busted
If im being honest ive never found Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin when it comes to it actually funny,where as Laurel and Hardy genuinely makes me chuckle and smile,where as allot of others from the silent era leaves me emotionless...

Chaplin, not so much. I can understand why he was/is popular, but his films are too mawkish and contain too much pathos for me With Keaton (and also Lloyd), I admire him for the stunts and surreal moments in his films more than the actual comedy elements, but again I can see why others like him

Yes, I laugh and cry when watching City Lights, and other Chaplin films like The Circus, The Great Dictator and Modern Times. In fact, I saw City Lights at the Sage in Gateshead with an orchestra performing the score and the hall was frequently treated to real belly-laughs from many of those present, children and adults alike.
