Dark comedic takes on two different potentially-apocalyptic world stage scenarios - World War II and the Cold War. Chaplin's movie is very well made... but this is not even close.

The Great Dictator was about a half hour longer than it deserved to be, and it really crushes the film. Yes, this is very much not even close.

Perfect matchup in every way! Absolutely love both and an extremely tough choice for me. Both are top 50 material. I’m giving the very slight edge to The Great Dictator for now.

The Dic over The Doc. I love The Shining, but that's it when it comes to Kubrick.
