Cohousing-L Mailing List: Silent Movie Night: The General, starring Buster Keaton

[Tim Hunter (timhunter100]

Thanks to Bill O’Conner we get an extra movie night this week. Please join us 
Tuesday night at 8:00 in the Media Room for one of the greatest silent films 
ever made, The General, starring Buster Keaton. Roger Ebert called The General 
"an epic of silent comedy, one of the most expensive films of its time, 
including an accurate historical recreation of a Civil War episode, hundreds of 
extras, dangerous stunt sequences, and an actual locomotive falling from a 
burning bridge into a gorge far below."

Plus! A Harold Lloyd short, Harold Lloyd versus the Turkey.
