Good morning to all freeper movie afficianados and participants in our Freepathon "Memorable Movie Moments".
The contest closed last night. At the moment, your contest hostess, Louella Parsons (moi), is enjoying a mahvelous breakfast at Tiffany's. Seated at my dining table are my very good silver screen friends, Virginia Mayo, Sir Cedrick Hardwick, Joan Blondell, Ann Sheridan, Harold Lloyd, Terry-Thomas and George Brent.
Then back to my estate in the Hollyweird Hills to judge the entries in the contest. They will be posted early evening, so stay tuned.
Mmmmm, eggs a la Maria Ouspenskaya..... fabulous!
Later, Louella

Whaaaa???
Harold Lloyd!
and Buster Keaton wasn't invited?
Don't get me wrong. Harold is a comic genius too...
But why wasn't Buster there?

My favorite was Charlie Chase (don't shoot me!).
He actually got less credit than he was due. He was the master of comic embarrassment, mostly playing a hapless, nerdy but dapper guy.
His films are undergoing a revival among silent comedy buffs as many of them are timeless and, in an odd way, relevant today.
He's underrated among the comedians of the silent era. His comedic sense of timing and the visual was often brilliant.
TCM shows some of his films and comic shorts every once in a while.
He sadly passed away at age 46 from heart problems brought on by chronic alcoholism.

IMHO
Buster Keaton is #1
I would say both Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chase would rank a #2
I would put Chaplin at #3
(Now I'm gonna get shot for putting the "great" Chaplin at 3. LOL)

I think "favorites" and "the best" are two different things. I still have to place Chaplin as the all-time best. He was a genius.
One has to know how to watch Chaplin to note his talent. Observe the next time, not the whole of the earlier Charlie, but his parts. His hands, arms, legs, fingers, feet are always doing something. He's adjusting his tie, batting his eyes, moving his mustache, twirling his cane, doing something with his hat, pursing his lips, changing his walk, cocking his head, drooping his shoulders.......sometimes all in one 20-second silent sequence!
No other comedian had this multi-faceted talent.
My favorite is Charlie Chase, but the other Charlie was and still is the one-and-only best of show.
IMHO, of course.
