The General starring Buster Keaton (1927)

Buster KeatonThe General is one of the first epic blockbusters of its time. Buster Keaton plays an engineer (Johnnie Gray) in love with his woman, and The General, a train. We originally put up three clips, here, but we've now put up the entire movie here.

Main plot overview: Our hero's woman is kidnapped by dark hatted bad guys. The only way to save her is to chase after the thugs, improvising along the way.
