The General (1926)

I know this is one of the most critically acclaimed silent comedies in existence, but I personally thought it was far less funny than the first Buster Keaton movie I saw, "Sherlock Jr." The gags were good, but there was a lot of plot clogging it all up. However, it must have done its job thoroughly for everyone who isn't me -- my little brothers have all pronounced it to be one of their favorite movies. Still a very good movie... I just was disappointed, having such high expectations of it. 3.5 stars.
