I have the Keaton set on laserdisc. "The General" of that set has been bettered by an Image effort. It and "Sherlock, Jr." are on my top ten of all time list. I once commented to a friend that the plot set up of Sherlock, Jr. was so simple (i.e., Buster changing the $1 candy box to a $4 version) could be easily followed by a 4 year old child. Lo and behold when about a year later his own daughter, when trying to explain the consequences of one's actions, said to him, "You know, like when Buster Keaton changed the price of the candy box". I was moved.
