The Kid vs. Modern Times

These are obviously two of Charlie Chaplin's very best films and there's not much that separates them, in terms of quality. I suppose Modern Times showcases Chaplin's creativity better, but I'm too much of a sucker for The Kid's sweet story to not choose it here.

Absolutely love both of these gems. But for me, Modern Times is Chaplin's best work. I even like it more than City Lights, which is my second favorite from Chaplin. The Kid still ranks in Chaplin's top 5 though. Such an accomplished director and actor in his day.

Modern Times shows us this amazing humor and romance whilst The Kid is more emotional. I prefer Modern Times.
