Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Navigator (1924)

Along with Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton is another silent film actor whom I think is funnier and more gifted a physical comedian than Charlie Chaplin.

Here Keaton's a boorish rich kid who winds up adrift at sea on a big ship with the girl of his dreams. There are quite a few bits that made me laugh aloud -- and it was short enough not to have me tapping my watch.

B+
