Sunrise, made in 1927, tells the tale of a country lad who becomes involved with a seductive city girl who tries to convince him murdering his wife will solve all their problems.

Sherlock Jr is one of Buster Keaton’s best loved films, a non-stop collection of gags and stunts where a cinema projectionist dozes off and finds himself playing the detective in a mystery movie.
