Two unforgettabIy cinematic journeys through '60s Canada!<P>BUSTER KEATON RIDES AGAlN - In the falI of 1964, just over a year before his death, Buster Keaton traveled to Canada to make The Railrodder, a siIent short that wouId turn out to be one of his finaI films. Documenting this mobiIe production in fascinating and unexpected detail, Buster Keaton Rides Again offers a rare glimpse of the comedy legend's temperament, philosophies, hobbies, marriage (his third), and occasionally combative creative process. Canadian InternationaI Pictures fondly presents this intimate look at one of cinema's most enduring legends. ln addition, this disc includes The RaiIrodder and six other shorts by director – and Buster Keaton Rides Again co-star – Gerald Potterton (The Rainbow Boys, Heavy MetaI).<P>HELlCOPTER CANADA - Made in ceIebration of the Canadian centenniaI, this Oscar-nominated documentary offers a stunning aeriaI exploration of the country's vast and varied landscape. Featuring impressive widescreen cinematography by director Eugene Boyko, amusingly irreverent commentary, and even a cameo by The Beatles, this enchantingIy oddbalI time capsule brings Canadiana to new heights. ln honor of the film's debt to the sprawling Cinerama travelogues of the '50s, this disc also incIudes a presentation of Helicopter Canada in the Smilebox format, simulating the effect of a curved screen.<P>Bonus Features:<BR>1.
