I don't mind as long as it is in spirit of the stuff I am looking at. We don't need this thread to become a dozen fanboys gushing about the new Marvel or Starwars movie. Try to keep it to interesting film.smh wrote:

March 18, 2018 The Circus 1928
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018773/
A Tramp finds work and the girl of his dreams at a circus.
An old Charlie Chaplin film. He was truly a master of visual comedy as if you see one of his films you will notice some gag piece that has been iterated and copied countless times. Considering how much of this I have seen sampled elsewhere it is surprising I even enjoyed it as much as I did. It is always a question of how much influence should weigh when rating a master artists works but when it comes to Chaplin he rises to the expectation. Obviously limitations with silent film prevent it for becoming an utter masterpiece but this is a fun film to watch nonetheless.
2/5
