I do like On the Waterfront a lot, but I think its reputation has been inflated because of its historical significance, and it's hard to take the film the same way when you know the backstory of Kazan's House of Un-American Activities participation.
i just like the movies

I've been meaning to see it for a while, maybe I'll knock it towards the top of my Netflix queue.

I'm ordering this next week, I think:

If you can't watch them all, at least make sure you catch The Playhouse, The Baloonatic, Cops, and The Boat. A lot of other great ones in there too.

Oh, you can be damned sure I'll watch them all. :D

I'm torn though because I can either get that, or Nosferatu + The Last Laugh, for around the same price. I'm going with quantity in this case, I'll get the other two later on but not too far off.

Oh, I thought you were talking about getting it from Netflix. How much is that set? I'm wondering how many of those are included in The Art of Buster Keaton box set from Kino?

The Art of Buster Keaton
Looks like it includes the following shorts:
ONE WEEK (1920)
THE HIGH SIGN (1920)
THE GOAT (1921)
MY WIFE'S RELATION (1922)
THE BOAT (1921)
THE LOVE NEST (1923)
THE SCARECROW (1920)
THE PALEFACE (1921)
THE HAUNTED HOUSE (1921)
FROZEN NORTH (1922)
NEIGHBORS (1920)
THE BALOONATIC (1923)
THE ELECTRIC HOUSE (1922)
HARD LUCK (1921)
THE BLACKSMITH (1922)
THE PLAYHOUSE (1921)
COPS (1922)
CONVICT 13 (1921)
DAYDREAMS (1922)
and a bunch of other stuff on a DVD called Keaton Plus. Looks like the set you mentioned has a lot of the earlier stuff but I think a lot of that might be with Fatty Arbuckle (I know Coney Island is) and may be available on these Kino discs Buster Keaton & Fatty Arbuckle. If I remember correctly, the Kino box has all of his shorts and the others are probably with Arbuckle, which I'm not sure who directed.
