Filmography

This is a work in progress and constitutes a partial filmography. No attempt is made to include every film role. I am including my own ratings of the films I've watched (on a subjective scale from 1-10), and, in parentheses after mine, the collective rating found on IMDB for comparison. (Because those are also a work in progress, they may change from time to time and may be different from what is found on the site on at any given time).  Where no rating is given, it's safe to assume I have not viewed that film. I'm not including the IMDB ratings for films I have not seen simply because I'd rather not be potentially prejudiced until after I form my own impression. (Yes. I'm stubborn that way!) And, along those lines, it is amazing to me how often my ratings mesh closely with the general wisdom and approval found on IMDB.

As you can also see, I also have a column for Buster's involvement in the film production. Sometimes screen credits do not reflect in which roles he was generally believed to have contributed for any given film, so that is also a work in progress and represents some fair attempt to ascertain his role on each film and may certainly be mistaken. If you think I am, please comment and let me know!

  2. I'll take that as a sign you would like more : ) I would love to spend more time watching, thinking about and writing about Buster Keaton! I can't think of too many things I enjoy more. Thanks for the reminder! I've just been pulled away doing too many other things lately, but I DO plan to and hopefully soon!
