No introduction needed here

1. Steamboat Bill, Jr. - A (My favorite Keaton film. The storm sequence is unbelieveable, non-stop action and it has lots of silly, fun, and romantic moments. One of my favorite film endings)
2. Sherlock, Jr. - A (Keaton's most imaginative artistic statement. Some incredible shots and ideas here.)
3. The General - A-
4. Our Hospitality - A- (Lots of inventive comedy gags here and I love the cute little dog that follows Buster on the railroad)
4. Seven Chances - A- (Another terrific action finale)
5. Convict 13 - A- (My favorite Keaton short is this bit of slapstick in which Buster mistakenly ends up in prison)
6. Neighbors - B+
7. College - B+ (Fun sendup of our obsession with sports)
8. The Battling Butler - B+ (Buster as boxer)
9. Daydreams - B+
10. Go West - B (Buster's Western spoof)
11. The Electric House - B (lots of fun gags with Buster living in a gadget filled house)
12. The Balloonatic - B
13. The Paleface - B-
14. The Scarecrow - B-
15. The Playhouse - B-
16. The Boat - C+
17. The Navigator - C (The one Keaton feature I don't care much for)
18. The Haunted House - C

Own: 1 (need to buy the Sherlock Jr./Our Hospitality disc)

Still need to check out Three Ages, The Cameraman and a number of other films. I may have seen a few more of the shorts and just don't remember them.
