Has any film comedian ever been funnier than Buster Keaton?
The dude was a genius - plain and simple. What he could do with just a simple gesture with a hand or just a finger. And that stone face.

I often think film comedians have completely lost the art of subtlety (of subject or of delivery.) Sometimes going to see a modern comedy film is like having someone smash me over the head with a hammer and shout "Are you laughing yet???"

So who's around in film comedy these days who lives up to the genre's illustrious past?
