Slapstick Comedy Film: The Playhouse (1921) [DVD] – A Silent Physical Comedy Movie Starring Buster Keaton, Virginia Fox & Joe Roberts
- Year: 1921
- Run time: 22 minutes
- Director: Edward F. Cline, Buster Keaton
- Starring: Buster Keaton, Virginia Fox, Joe Roberts.
Buster Keaton, named the seventh greatest director of all time by Entertainment Weekly, was one of the most innovative cinematic artists in history. Here in The Playhouse, the genius of Keaton is fully demonstrated in this entrancing silent film. Keaton plays virtually all the characters, but the kicker is that he’s often on screen multiple times in one shot! The cinematic techniques were revolutionary, and still fascinating today as a look back. But beyond appreciating the movie making approaches, Keaton lights up the screen with nonstop gags. The Playhouse is all Buster Keaton, in more ways than one, and that’s a good thing.

Buster Keaton Silver Screen Comedy Classic – The Goat (1929) [DVD] – A Slapstick Prop Comedy Starring Buster Keaton, Virginia Fox & Joe Roberts

- Run time: 27 minutes
- Director: Buster Keaton, Malcolm St. Clair
- Starring: Buster Keaton, Virginia Fox, Malcolm St. Clair, Edward F. Cline, Joe Roberts.
Buster Keaton, one of the stars of the Silent Film Era, never disappoints; his blend of absurd physical humor and slapstick comedy was both innovative and rib-tickling fun to watch. In The Goat, Keaton is a vagrant who is wrongly accused as a murderer. Mostly chase scenes with nonstop action, Keaton turns everything into a new gag, from a windows to trains to trucks. Keaton’s comedic imagination is boundless and The Goat is another strong performance.
