"The Great Dictator"
« on: January 14, 2004, 01:41:41 AM »
TCM is showing Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" tonight.  

Oh. My. Goodness.   This is the funniest movie I have seen in years.   Mr. Chaplin was a genius!  He must be rolling over in his grave at all the tripe they pass off as comedy these days...

I've seen Chaplin's "City Lights" and I rather enjoyed it. I've been meaning to see some of his other movies, but haven't gotten around to it.

A contemporary of Chaplin's, Buster Keaton, is also on my list of comedy filmmakers who's work I should see sometime.
