It's a very funny film, filled with many amazing stunts. In my opinion it's a lot more approachable than other silent films, especially for people unfamiliar with films from that time period.

How does it compare to The General (Another silent Buster Keaton movie)? We own it, and it's pretty awesome. Best locomotive chase scene *ever*.
I've decided not to count the last one as my suggestion for today, since I was just commenting on sapiens' suggestion. :-)
Today I'll nominate Graveyard of The Fireflies. But only if you're prepared to cry. Saddest movie I have ever seen, with the possible competition of holocaust films like Schindler's List or the Diary of Anne Frank. Also amazingly beautiful and very funny at times.
