    I will nominate Steamboat Bill, Jr. - a Buster Keaton classic that has so many iconic scenes of comedy and action. Check this out from the climax. The full climax of this movie is so relevant to what going on with the weather in this country of late.

    I will second He Who Gets Slapped, which is perhaps Lon Chaney's best film - Pennywise better watch out.

    I will nominate Cops, another Buster Keaton & Eddie Cline directed series of gags. A very Kafkaesque romp.

    Unfortunately, that's a short (18 minutes), we're only nominating feature films, which is 40 minutes and over.

    Yeah there are great shorts that unfortunately don't qualify for our tournament, but thankfully Keaton made some all-time classic features!

    I agree, but there were a lot of great shorts in this decade in particular, because film was so experimental at this point.

    Oh yes for sure, and if we were to get into the 1910s, the no shorts rule would need to be dropped. Hope you have more to nominate too, and more Keaton, as well!
