Stick to watching your Hollywood blockbusters kid. Every film of chaplin are considered one of the greatest films ever made...

Chaplin is overrated. If you're interested in good comedy films of the 1920s (the decade in which Chaplin produced most of his films) watch Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd. Chaplin doesn't even rate in the same league with them.

Or Laurel & Hardy - I much prefer them, too. I do like Modern Times and Monsieur Verdoux quite a lot, but otherwise am not a fan of Chaplin’s sentimental mugging.
