His films aren't just meant to be enjoyed. They are meant to be STUDIED. Anybody who is involved in comedy writing/directing/editing/producing/acting needs to know his filmography inside & out.
I can't remember when I first started watching him, I was so little. Probably when I was five or six. Back then I thought he was 'young Chaplin'. I thought he was the same guy, but his mustache had not 'grown' just yet. My knowledge of Keaton's life and films has expanded quite a lot since then...
It's over twenty years now and I still love him. Well, both. He and Chaplin are my soulmates.
Every Sunday in October Turner Classic Movies is going to be showing marathons of his films. And that makes me happy. (I'm not headed toward an intellectual discussion here. Like I said, he simply makes me happy.)
