- Synopsis:
Three classic films starring and directing Buster Keaton.
Our Hospitality (1923)
Keaton is luckless William McKay, who must journey down South to view his lacklustre inheritance, only to be seduced along the way by one of the Canfields, Virginia, who lures him to her family's house so that the men of the clan can shoot him down. But William knows that the Canfield men won't kill him as long as he's in their house, so he endeavours to stay put there, against all obstacles.
Go West (1925)Friendless abandons city life to ride the rails to an Arizona ranch, where his ineptitude at almost everything only makes his nickname even more accurate. But when his one beloved companion, a cow named Brown Eyes, seems to be headed to a slaughterhouse fate, Friendless intervenes, and the resulting cattle stampede through the streets of Los Angeles is one of Keaton's most understandably famous and acclaimed sequences.
College (1927)
Keaton is bookworm Ronald; whose high school girl Mary ditches him for someone with the athletic prowess that Ronald lacks. Determined to win her back, Ronald enters college with an eye on sports, but two left feet.- Actors:

‘She’s not going!’ - Buster Keaton: Our Hospitality / Go West / College review by LJ
Our Hospitality – I could watch this silent movie just for the fascinating old timey train but it is a decent story too with jaw-dropping stunts.
Go West –While the story of a man’s love for a cow and the lengths he will go to to save her life is lovely, it is overshadowed by the mixed messaging in this silent movie.
College – the dullest Buster Keaton silent film I’ve seen, because there is almost no plot.
