The General is one of a handful of movies that I can’t recommend more highly.

Some great old movies are a little bit like spinach. They’re good for you, so you HAVE to watch them, even though you’d really rather not.
This movie’s not like that. You start watching dutifully, and within five minutes or so you’ve forgotten that it’s a silent movie. It’s an adventure story full of narrow escapes, and a war movie with Civil War battle sequences that remain some of the most authentic ever filmed to this day. During the locomotive chase, I’m continually tempted to shout advice to the characters on the screen. (Okay, you probably don’t want to watch a movie with me.)

The General is a comedy throughout, but the laughs don’t detract a bit from the adventure. There are long tracking shots that would make Steven Spielberg jealous. There are no computer-generated special effects, but there are stunts that still make audiences gasp — including one you’re not likely ever to forget.
Several years ago, Kino Video released this on DVD as part of the Art of Buster Keaton collection, with a musical score by Robert Israel. I’ve held onto a 20-year-old laser disc version from Thames Television because I prefer that version’s score by Carl Davis. It appears that this blu-ray edition will offer both scores, plus a theatre organ score by Lee Erwin.
(I write this review without yet having seen the actual blu-ray disc. It’s the great, great movie itself that I want to recommend.)
you should change your description of The General. Johnny Grey (buster) is NOT ‘rejected as unfit’ in this movie. They don’t let him into the confederate army because they think he is more valuable to the South as an Engineer.
BIG difference. Don’t bust on Buster.
