Some of the scenes from silent films in that series were incredible and made me want to give them another shot. I think that a good score would be a great help.

I love comedies and was planning on watching a documentary on Chaplin when I ran across the series on Keaton. After seeing a couple of shorts of his awhile back on TCM, I'm also curious about Charley Chase comedies. And Harold Lloyd and Fattie Arbuckle.

Don't have to work tomorrow, so tonight seems like a good night to start.

Start w/Keaton & Lloyd shorts. They're both great and IMHO pretty accessible for modern audiences. Then move on to their features.

Then maybe try some of the lesser known people, like Charley Chase, Raymond Griffith, Lloyd Hamilton, or Harry Langdon -- the latter may take some getting used to.
