Introducing THE Hero Of The Silent Movie: HAROLD LLOYD
Some time ago, before we had artificial intelligence, virtual reality, internet, computer, and even before we had coloured movies and movies with voices, we had the silent movie. Well, the movies were not silent, but they did not have speech, no voices.
At the time of silent movies, one of my hero's (and maybe for a lot of other as well at the time) is Harold Lloyd. Harold belonged to the top comedians, and can easily be measured with Charles (Charlie) Chaplin and Buster Keaton. He made more than 200 movies between 1914 and 1947.
Some of his greatest works I like to present you through scenes from his movies below in this post. I also included some of his best movies at the end.
ENJOY!

Great compilation. He was kinda one of the big four right? Fatty, Charlie, Buster, and Harold.
Fatty; didn't know him! I would say: Yep! :) Learned somthing; Super; Thanks :)
This guy was a genius. I wish there was more of this kind of entertainment around today.
Super! Someone who also appreciates the old stuff AND Harold!
I can only advise: Take some time, and watch some if the links :)
Yes, I'm a huge fan of him, Buster Keaton, and Chaplain. Most of them did most, or all, of their own stunts.
Super times back then! BTW, Charles Chaplin I really really love as well, especially his later movies.
