Chaplin > Keaton > Lloyd
All three are great. Amazed there aren't more reaction images and gifs from them.
Chaplin is up there for the greatest director ever, let alone best silent comedy kino
Jayden Allen
agree with this.
for me laurel and hardy made the best transition from silent to talkies.
regarding reaction gifs, why isnt there an oliver hardy breaking the 4th wall gif? that would be classic.
i cant get the hang of making gifs/webm's

Keaton was a great Batman.
I don't know the other two, probably Marvelcucks.
Connor Fisher
Keaton for the ambition, Chaplin for the charm
Easton Nelson
don't be a sentimental retard chaplin was competent as a director. keaton was much better (and more original)
Connor Robinson
I love Chaplin and Lloyd but Keaton is heads and shoulders above all them.
Thomas Ward
jacques tati. not as acrobatic as keaton or chaplin but his movie playtime is probably in my top 10
youtube.com
there's this interview with him about how people from different social strata smoke their cigarettes that I can't find right now but really shows what he's good at. it's all about subtle class markers, social alienation and critiques of modernity in the form of slapstick
Austin Hill
Keaton by far

In my native language Tati means shit.
Brody Campbell
My problem with Chaplin is that his movies are hilarious but end up becoming the silent-era equivalent of oscar bait. So hamfisted. So in general I prefer Keaton.
Matthew Hill
based buster of course
Owen Wood

Logan Adams
Chaplin obviously. Keaton was just a one trick pony compared to Chaplin. Cool stuff with the stunts and such but for pure cinematic genius (Chaplin has been pigeon-holed as comedy these days for some reason) and pure taste Chaplin. Easily.
Also: Would have voted a tie with Stan Laurel if the option was available.
Elijah Walker
Lloyd, then Chaplin in order of personal preference. I haven't seen enough of Keaton's work to weigh in on that score, though I imagine I would enjoy most of it.
Nicholas Hall
Is it even a question?
Caleb Walker
>Despite being diagnosed with cancer in January 1966, he was never told that he was terminally ill or that he had cancer; Keaton thought that he was recovering from a severe case of bronchitis. Confined to a hospital during his final days, Keaton was restless and paced the room endlessly, desiring to return home.
Kayden Morales
I can't see that at all
Chaplin made maudlin comedies without a fraction of the daring Keaton and a very basic sense of political awareness. All this talk of being a genius for pointing a camera at his amusing antics is totally beyond me. I say this as someone who loves Modern Times
Jacob Campbell
That webm alone is funnier than entire "comedies" I've seen lately.
