OriginalThe Lucky Dog (1921), the first film to pair Laurel and Hardy, though they were not yet a pair.
Reason
Decent resolution, full-length film, notable one, no commercial issues (it's public domain, not really advertising is it?). Notable as the first pairing of Laurel and Hardy, even though they were not partners at the time.

  • Oppose It looks like the one posted on youtube [1] is much better quality when changed to 480p. I paused at a few similar frames in both and it looks to me like the youtube version is clearly superior. However, if I'm mistaken will gladly change to support, would like to see this featured!

  • If the music is part of your consideration, it shouldn't be. The music could not have been included with the original film (there's a reason it was called the "silent" era) and was a later addition which may or may not be copyrighted. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:52, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just the image quality was all I was concerned about. I paused both at similar frames and the youtube one looks much better. However, I could be mistaken. Would support the better quality version if that is possible. Mattximus (talk) 19:44, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
