On October 5, 1969 the most outrageous, unorthodox comedy struck the world. From the Dead Parrot skit to the Lumberjack Song, the Pythons set a standard for anarchic, irreverent comedy never before seen. From their Flying Circus TV show (the most popular show in PBS history) to Monty Python and the Holy Grail to Monty Python's Meaning of Life, the Pythons will shock, amaze and amuse. This extraordinary group of artists made "shrubbery" a household word. For most of us, they were, and mostly still are, sheer bloody genius...with a British twist. LICENSEE LIST

One of the great silent clowns of early comedic films, Buster Keaton was known for acrobatic visual gags and for his deadpan, expression-less faces. It even earned him the nick-name, "Great Stone Face", from his adoring fans and critics. Keaton made 19 short films and 11 silent features. Keaton was the American loner: a dour, improbably heroic figure under a hostile sky. Keaton seemed so solitary, so oblivious to sentiment that no one could touch him or catch him. LICENSEE LIST
