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.

Add Max Linder to that list. He was a big inspiration for Chaplin and Lloyd, and to Keaton to a lesser extent.

"Start w/Keaton & Lloyd shorts."

Watched The Scarecrow by Keaton last night on Youtube. Amazing performance. He was likely 23 at the time.
