It can't have happened very often that Arjan and me have voted for axactly the same options in a poll of any kind, but we agree on this one.  It's not that the others aren't great as well, but the genius of Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd is too much for the others to do battle with. For me the silents and early talkies produced the (by far) best comedians of movie history. |

I voted for Charlie , Douglas Fairbanks and "The Man of 1000 Faces" Lon Chaney. I think they are all legends of their particular styles in the Silent movies for this period. (comedy, swashbucklers, horror)
hard to leave off Keaton, Tom Mix and Harold Lloyd, all worthy of induction (actually everyone on this list was)
The Duke and Coop will have their time, just wrong time frame I think for their best work in my opinion

Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd... I think they are undisputed masters of the film craft as practiced in this era...

Tough one. All worthy in their way. Went w. Chaplin, Keaton and Chaney. Very tough to leave off Fairbanks and Lloyd. Cooper (& Wayne & L. Barrymore) more noteworthy for
later stuff, though I know that's not necessarily a criterion.

...and Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton will be our much deserving inductees.
