"Short films are not inferior, just different. I think the short gives a freedom to filmmakers. What's appealing is that you don't have as much responsibility for storytelling and plot. They can be more like a portrait, or a poem." - Jane Campion

Mabel Normand's silent comedy classic Mickey broke box office records and was the most popular film of the silent era. In 1919, an article in The Tattler proclaimed, “Next to our President there is no better known character in the country today than Mickey.” A century later, Mickey is entirely unknown to the general public. The film doesn’t show up in the Top 200 Favorite Silent Films on Flickchart or the Top 200 Most Popular Films of the 1910s on Letterboxd. Mabel Normand is not the only early female filmmaker to be neglected by 20th Century historians. Her masterpiece deserves more attention from movie buffs and scholars than they have given it so far. https://www.filmsranked.com/mickey-the-forgotten-blockbuster/ MUSIC:

Sherlock Jr. (1924) - dir. Buster Keaton https://www.filmsranked.com/movie/sherlock-jr/ Sherlock Jr. is one of Buster Keaton’s most recognized classics. He plays a motion picture projectionist who falls asleep and enters the world of film, playing a world-famous detective. Buster Keaton averaged about a masterpiece a year during the 1920s. Sherlock Jr., from 1924, is one of those. The scene in which Keaton’s character enters the screen was “the reason for making the whole picture…Just that one situation,” he would later say. The trick shots and special effects were extraordinary for their time. Keaton claimed, “every cameraman in the business went to see that picture more than once trying to figure out how the hell we did some of that.” GREATEST FANTASY FILMS OF ALL TIME: https://www.filmsranked.com/fantasy-films/ #BusterKeaton #SilentFilms
