For those who were mesmerized by Buster's Nose Dive, a true Comedy masterpiece from 1926, its influence on Comedy cinema remains a vital reference point for fans today. This list serves as a bridge to other Comedy experiences that are just as potent.
The legacy of Buster's Nose Dive is built upon its ability to blend thematic complexity with stunning visual execution.
After a horseback ride in which Buster rescues Mary Jane from her unmanageable animal, he goes home and steals the blue prints of his father's commercial airplane from which he constructs a play machine by combining a bed, a piano stool and an electric fan. His father declines to take him to the flying field but Buster, Mary Jane and the dog get aboard the spare tire of the car. The spare falls off with Buster in it and it rolls down a hill and through the heavy traffic of the town, dumping him near his father's office. He goes in and plays with the model of the airplane. The whizzing propeller throws a cyclonic wind through the offices, causing havoc and destruction. Buster and Tige get in the machine to hold it down. It carries them through the brick wall and through the town. Buster's father, in his car, sees them and follows underneath. After a wild ride the plane fall into the back seat of the auto and smashes to bits.
