These silent movie stunts look too dangerous to be real… then you remember it’s Buster Keaton - “Okay”
More than a century after Buster Keaton became one of the defining figures of silent cinema, his most extraordinary physical comedy and stunt work can still leave audiences wondering how the scenes were possible. This compilation brings together a selection of Keaton’s wildest movie moments and presents the historic footage in restored, colorized 4K. Rather than relying on dialogue or narration, the video allows the visual performances themselves to take center stage, accompanied primarily by music. Keaton became famous for combining elaborate physical comedy with an almost completely expressionless screen persona, earning him the nickname “The Great Stone Face.” That contrast made his performances unique: chaos could erupt around him while Keaton appeared almost completely unfazed. Vehicles, moving machinery, collapsing objects, elaborate chases and precisely timed physical gags became tools for comedy, with many sequences requiring extraordinary coordination between the performer, camera crew and practical effects.

Classic film casts from 80s, 90s and 2000s: Where are they today?
Some movie casts have become so iconic that it’s hard to imagine their characters played by anyone else. From the supernatural comedy of Ghostbusters and the childhood magic of Casper and Jumanji to the superhero spectacle of X-Men and the fashion-world drama of The Devil Wears Prada, these films introduced audiences to unforgettable characters and stars. Decades later, many of the actors have become even bigger names, while others have taken their careers in unexpected directions. Here’s a look at what happened to the stars of some of the most beloved films of the eighties, nineties and two-thousands. When there was something strange in the neighborhood, these guys answered the call. When ‘Ghostbusters’ premiered in June 1984, it quickly became a comedy classic, spawning sequels, merchandise, and one unforgettable theme song. But what happened to the original team after they packed away the proton packs? Dan Aykroyd, who co-wrote the movie with co-star Harold Ramis, continued a prolific career after the supernatural hit. The former ‘Saturday Night Live’ star appeared in films like ‘My Girl,’ ‘Tommy Boy,’ and ‘Driving Miss Daisy,’ earning himself an Oscar nomination along the way. Decades later, he’s still busting ghosts, most recently returning for ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ in 2024. Bill Murray followed ‘Ghostbusters’ with a string of beloved comedies, including ‘What About Bob?’ and ‘Groundhog Day.’ He later earned an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe for ‘Lost in Translation’ and became a frequent collaborator of filmmaker Wes Anderson, featuring in movies like ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ and ‘The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.’ Harold Ramis remained a major creative force in Hollywood, co-writing the enduring comedy ‘Groundhog Day’ and scripts like ‘Analyze This’ and ‘Analyze That.’ The American actor and filmmaker died in 2014 at the age of 69. Meanwhile, Ernie Hudson has stayed busy across film and television, appearing in projects from ‘The Crow’ to the HBO drama ‘Oz’ and the comedy ‘Grace and Frankie.’ He most recently turned heads for his remarkably fit physique while promoting ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ well into his 70s. Back in 1995, ‘Casper’ cast its spell on audiences with a perfect mix of humor, fantasy, and heart. Nearly 30 years later, the movie still holds a nostalgic place for fans—and its cast has gone on to some pretty remarkable journeys. Christina Ricci, only 14 at the time, starred as Kat Harvey. Already famous as Wednesday Addams, her role in ‘Casper’ solidified her as one of the standout young talents of the ’90s. These days she’s keeping viewers hooked on Showtime’s ‘Yellowjackets’. Away from the spotlight, Ricci enjoys life with her husband, Mark Hampton, and their two kids. Bill Pullman brought warmth to Kat’s dad, Dr. James Harvey. Fans already knew him from ‘Spaceballs’ and ‘While You Were Sleeping’, but just a year later he’d be saving the world in ‘Independence Day’. Off-screen, he leads a quiet life with wife Tamara Hurwitz and their three children. Cathy Moriarty, unforgettable as greedy villain Carrigan, shifted from her ‘Raging Bull’ roots to full-on comedy. She later appeared in ‘Analyze That’ and most recently hit the stage in 2024’s ‘I’ll Eat You Last’. It’s been more than 30 years since ‘Jumanji’ brought its magical board game and jungle chaos to the big screen. Released in 1995, the adventure film became a family favorite and helped launch one of Hollywood’s most enduring franchises. What have the stars of the original movie been up to since then? Robin Williams played Alan Parrish, the boy trapped inside the game for decades. Already one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Williams followed ‘Jumanji’ with acclaimed performances in several notable films, including ‘Good Will Hunting,’ for which he won an Academy Award, as well as ‘The Birdcage,’ ‘Patch Adams,’ and ‘Night at the Museum.’ He remained a beloved presence on screen until his tragic passing in 2014. David Alan Grier played inventor Carl Bentley. After ‘Jumanji,’ he built a successful career across television, film, and theater. He starred in sitcoms such as ‘DAG’ and ‘The Cool Kids,’ appeared on shows like ‘The Carmichael Show’ and ‘Dad Stop Embarrassing Me,’ and even won a Tony Award for his performance in ‘A Soldier’s Play.’ More recently, he joined the cast of the comedy series ‘St. Denis Medical.’ Bonnie Hunt played Sarah Whittle, Alan’s childhood friend and love interest. After ‘Jumanji,’ Hunt went on to star in films like ‘Jerry Maguire,’ ‘The Green Mile’ and ‘Cheaper by the Dozen.’ She also found success as a television host with ‘The Bonnie Hunt Show’ and became a familiar voice in Pixar films, having appeared in the ‘Cars’ and ‘Monsters, Inc.’ franchises.
