There's an old youtube channel by "Avamogal" (apparently "a mom to 7 boys. 10 grandkids 8 boys, 2 girls") which is full of great collages of Buster clips, with interesting music backgrounds. Recommended.

Sadly it seems the channel hasn't been active for 6 years or so...

There are many videos showing Buster's stunts and athletic prowess. But he could also make great romantic scenes.

You can't have a Buster Keaton community without showing some of his most famous (and insane) stunts ... many of which were done without any special effects, safety gear or prior experience.

The one where he runs on top of the train cars, grabs a water tower funnel and has hundreds of gallons of water land on his head is famous for injuring him ... he actually cracked his vertebrae in that scene and it gave him life long pain.

An endearing and even moving short clip of Buster singing "June Night" and "Casey Jones".
