Most of the time, I find the idea of them pretty interesting and I&#8217;m always fascinated by their historical significance, but I&#8217;ve never really enjoyed them as I would a more recent film. That&#8217;s a different story with <em>Sherlock Jr.<\/em> It is a genuinely charming and funny piece of cinema and one which still feels fresh after almost 100 years. Buster Keaton really did create something special.
