The Man with the Movie Camera

This film is absolutely genius in every way & I cannot believe it was made in 1929! Beyond amazing! 5/5

The Artist

This movie got in its own way far too often & turned it's hook into a gimmick too often. Very average for me. 3/5

The Circus

For a Chaplin film this is so bittersweet - almost melancholy - and yet so joyous & lovely. I adore this man, truly. 5/5

Chaplin Mutuals: Vol. 1

This collection of early Chaplin shorts are absolutely brilliant - my favorite was "The Immigrant". 5/5

Steamboat Bill, Jr.

Not quite as good as "The General" but better than "Seven Chances" - Keaton isn't quite Chaplin for me. 4/5

The General

This silent film is utterly charming & Buster Keaton's dead-pan look is just hilarious. A true classic. 5/5

City Lights

Although I personally preferred "The Kid", this sweet & wondrous romcom by Chaplin made me laugh & cry. Loved it. 5/5
