So... Keaton or Chaplin?

I'm watching the film now, and they've just got to the scene where they debate - Keaton or Chaplin.

Personally, I'm going to say Keaton. Probably just because I'm more familiar with Keaton's work than Chaplin's. Although my hometown is where Chaplin made his stage debut.

Chaps, if only because I saw and love so many of his silent films and grew up with them. Saw some talkie stuff too. The gold rush is in my top 20 maybe even 10.

Buster Keaton on the other hand... I am not even sure I saw anything from him. I might not even be able to recognize him in a picture.
