There’s a theater in New York called ‘Film Forum’ that sometimes plays Buster Keaton movies, with live piano accompaniment. When I was young my dad took me there to see Our Hospitality, which was preceded by three of the short films. It was absolutely a formative childhood experience for me.

(Many years later I also got to see an original and unfaded print of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service there.)
