My goodness what an incredible movie. I knew the train/bridge scene existed but it was even more incredible then I could have imagined. The story was genuinely funny and Keaton was at the height of his game on this one.

This is such an eye-opener. What can I say, it is a proto-action film. And a really good one. Well, maybe I should appreciate action film more.

Funnier than Sherlock, Jr. and just as good. I got to see this projected at an old cinema in Edmonton. Wasn't from a print but the Kino DVD Im assuming or the Blu Ray if they have one out. Amazing music in the film. No question about it's masterpiece status.

One of the many reasons why I love old silent movies is that I know, without a doubt, that everything I am seeing is real. Made long before the invention of the visual effects that supersaturate modern movies, "The General" presents Buster Keaton performing awe-inspiring stunts on a moving locomotive, while retaining the lighthearted romantic side that Keaton did so well

It this Mesut Ozil on the Cover ?!

Favorite Keaton Film.

A hilarious, laugh out loud and sparkling smart joyride with the legend called Buster Keaton! 75 minutes of pure, unadulterated delight!

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

First time seeing this. Keaton is a master of physical comedy. Alloy Orchestra on-hand for live backing-music.

the best.

Duh.
