25 min · No dialogue · Comedy

A newly married couple receive a prefabricated house kit and set about assembling their first home within a week. What they don't know is that a jealous rival has secretly switched the numbers on the crates, so every step of construction goes hilariously wrong in this silent-era slapstick comedy.

Why we picked it

Buster Keaton's 1920 silent classic, co-directed with Eddie Cline: newlyweds build a flat-pack house after a jealous rival swaps the crate numbers. Twenty-five minutes of slapstick that still works a century on.
