Logline: Johnnie (Buster Keaton) pursues his precious locomotive, The General, and its passenger—Johnnie’s love, Annabelle Lee—when its stolen by Union spies.
Memorable Moments: When Annabelle is mistakenly informed by her brother that Johnnie wasn’t “even in line” to enlist in the Confederate army, to which Annabelle replies “He’s a disgrace to the South.”
Why People Love It: It’s one of the more ‘lovable’ of the silent-era movies and because of the exciting (at least at the time) action aboard The General.
Best Quote: Johnnie: “If you lose this war don’t blame me.”
