Sherlock Jr.
Buster Keaton is a projectionist who falls asleep and enters into the plot of the movie he is showing, in one of the most astonishing sequences ever filmed. As impressive as the complex aesthetics of the story's Pirandello-like format are Keaton's brilliantly modulated acrobatics, highlighted by the famous motorcycle ride with Keaton on the handlebars unaware that the driver has fallen off.
