Modern Times

If you’ve never seen a silent film, this the best one to try, although it’s not fully silent. This is my favorite Charlie Chaplin film by far. That’s saying something. City Lights, The Kid, The Gold Rush, The Great Dictator, etc. The EMPATHY you feel for both Chaplin (in his final and best role as the Little Tramp) plus the radiant Paulette Goddard is beyond measure. You laugh, you cry, you are immersed from the very beginning and held captivated on the edge of your seat. To me, this is on par with Sunrise as one of the greatest silent films ever made. The music is incredible with the immortal “Smile” (pre-1954 lyrics) as a backdrop to the entire movie. The ending melts your heart. No matter what mood you’re in, this will lift you up. Not many films can have that effect. You don’t regret renting or buying this Top 10 classic.💖

If you have not seen Modern Times you must watch it. It is really one of the best movies ever made. It hard to believe how long ago this movie was made. It is one of Chaplin's best!!

What u meant classic, it was only before World War Two, if u would consider these are classic who can tell & want 2 teach all the kids bout ancient philosophy, bout literature of the world, u might want 2 forget everything but u still have 2 remember one simple principle, without the wisdoms of our past there wouldn't be any future ok, u get 2 say Mr. Charlie Chaplan was and has been the pioneer of movie theatre, who else can provide 2 the audience all the black & white comedies like these but even the youth can still euthanize his ideas.

Charles Chaplin was and will be the genius artist

Chaplin' s brilliance pervades the enter film. Also, we can hear his first version of "Smile" which is a poignant touch to the love story . Paulette Godard is radiant. However, Chaplin was a true renaissance man and we must hope that future generations will continue to reference and extol his works.
