English Buster Keaton is absolutely incredible to me because what that guy does on the screen is truly unbelievable. His stunt tricks are basically impossible to perform today because no one would dare to do it properly. That's what gets me. The building collapse where he only survives because of an open window may be repetitive, but it never gets old. I'm quite curious if any comedian today would dare to attempt it. ()
