I have always found that watching the "golden oldies" they really lift my mood. To watch Buster Keaton, Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, and of course the Key Stone Cops, takes me to another world. Their style of comedy has never been repeated, and the timing of their work was perfection itself.
When you consider that in those days very little "Camera Tricks" could be used, so the timing was really important.
It was also Clean Fun, in as much that the whole family could watch it, without any smut or sexual tones at all. I still enjoy modern comedy films and the like, yet no matter how hard they try, they never seem to match the oldies for side splitting laughter.
