Charles Chaplin

[kid908]

I just had a sudden urge to watch the early 20th century classic. I'm going to watch it right now but want to know your opinions on him.

I myself really enjoy the old classic silent films of Chaplin and his comedy.

I thought this was a thread saying he died and then I was like owait.

Black and white comedies are pure gold.

If you feel like tottering on the edge of sanity however, check out the movies Metropolis. It's incredible.

In fact, they just found the original ending to it (they thought it was lost in WW2), and it supposedly makes the silent film even more fantastic than it was.

Genius, pure genius. Charlie Chaplin is awesome.

Genius, pure genius. Charlie Chaplin is awesome.

Talking about comedy, i read somewhere charlie chaplin went to a charlie chaplin look alike contest as a secret guest and came 3rd.
Im gonna have to look up the book i read it in and quote it.

[Rob Oplawar]

I heard it in Lucky Number Slevin:

Mr. Goodkat: "Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest in Monte Carlo and came in third; that's a story."

[Aerowyn]

I have to say though, out of all of Charlie Chaplin's films, I like The Great Dictator the best.

Hearing him talk really makes a difference for me.

[Syuusuke]

Did he have any last words when he died?

I wanna watch some too!

e: you kinda killed my silent-film joke gamerlady!

I have 18 of his vids on 2 DVD: The Best of Charles Chaplin.

I heard he inspired Hitler to get the mustache.

[Phopojijo]

Yeah, Hitler wanted to appear less threatening, so he modeled his mustache after Charlie Chaplin.

Really worked out well for him...
