I've seen stuff like Man Boarding a Train but I think the oldest movie I actually like watching just to watch would be The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari from 1920.

    Definitely some Buster Keaton shit, those stunts were wild, and the comedic timing was so good. Ever seen that scene where he's on the front of a train?

      I mean, it's just after the time people sat on flagpoles for fame and eating lunch on unprotected hanging girders. People were just totally okay with dying whenever

      I'm absolutely in love with the insane shit they would do with trains in the silent film era. There were staged train crashes, and one case where they drove a train onto a burning bridge and collapsed it, plus all of Keaton's stunts.

      Came here to say that. I've seen older movies but Buster Keaton stuff is genially entertaining.
