I have only seen the speech and that is the greatest speech ever!

Probably my favorite comedy of all time. Just thinking of the story-line alone makes me laugh and wonder how Chaplin pulled it off.

Chaplin in a dual role, as well as directing, showcases his extreme talent.

Just saw it today for the first time. Wow! A top three from Chaplin, and that’s say a lot!

I loved the last 15 minutes or so. But after seeing the top 5 rated of his movies I can confidently say I’m not a big Chaplin fan. He’s good, I just don’t think his stuff is for me.

Loses out only to City Lights when it comes to Chaplin's stuff

One of his all time best. Along with City Lights, Modern Times, and others. It's a phenomenal movie
