Great. Another classic Klan revival flick, from the hay-day of the Eugenics movement in the United States. before you praise these "classic" sorts of filth, let's not forget that Hollywood's roots lay entwined with the "dark side" of Glendale and Pasadena CA, which were (and to some extent, still are) the West Coast hotbed of that horrific pseudo-science. It is funny that movies like this and "Birth of A Nation" get so much cred that they do, when they were explicitly promo's for the KKK, per Woodrow Wilson's much publicized showing of 'BoN" at the White House, which kicked off a huge revival of the terror organization. Trying to seperate the relationship between these types of films and that reality of your history and their effect as propoganda, is to enjoy listening or watching something by Richard Wagner, and think nothing of his personal declared hatred for all humanity, and in particular, his passion to annihilate the Jews, and how a later Austrian devotee doing a bad Chaplin imitation, so inspired, sought to make that dream come true. On that subject, whats next? Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will"?

A great classic! Funny and witty. keaton is truly one of the great silent movie actor/directors of that time. Those train shots are wonderful.

A nice, funny old film

The title says it all. The General is one of the greatest films ever made, but this Hulu copy has one of the worst musical scores I've heard on a silent film and won't win the movie any new fans. If you want to see this movie the right way, get one of the restored DVDs or the blu-ray which has a restored image and the powerful Carl Davis musical score.
