217. Sherlock Jr. (# 198) | the m0vie blog

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney and this week with special guest Andrew Max Tohline, The 250 is a weekly journey through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes will be released on Saturdays at 6 p.m. GMT.

So this week, Buster Keatons Sherlock Jr..

In a small town, a projectionist (and caretaker) falls in love with a beautiful woman. He dreams of how he could win their love by turning to crime novels and the big screen for inspiration. However, sometimes the boundaries between reality and fantasy are more porous than they may appear.

At the time of recording, it was ranked 198th on the list of All-Time Best Movies in the Internet Movie Database.
