The best of Chaplin vs. the best of the Marx Bros. "Duck Soup" is one of the best comedies ever made, but "City Lights" transcends comedy. These are both in my Top 50 though.

Duck Soup is pure madness...and that's a good thing.

Tough one....very tough. But in most cases, Chaplin > Marx Brothers.

Wow, a terrific double feature! I have to give the edge to City Lights, my personal favorite Chaplin movie. But Duck Soup is so damned good too.

City Lights is the greatest silent film of all time. This goes to Chaplin's finest work, City Lights.

City Lights by far. I was not a big fan of Duck Soup. I chuckled here and there, but most of the humor didn't do much for me.

City Lights. For me, Duck Soup was a really, really long 70 minutes.
