The List included in the above Poll is subjective. There may be
specific Charlie Chaplin movies that you prefer. But for this
particular Poll, I tired to include what I think are the best of
the best. There are a lot of short 1-2 reels that I'm very fond
of and could be included. But for now, this is the List as I see
it.
Don't wait for me to review each individual film to chime in.
Let's hear what your favorite Chaplin film is and why. For me it
always comes down to The Kid, City Lights, Modern Times and The
Great Dictator. I will have to once again, watch these films at
my leisure before deciding. Ugh. This is going to be difficult.
Again. I'm leaning toward City Lights, but I may end up going
with The Kid. Stay tune.

As mentioned in the last post, it came down to City Lights and
The Kid. But in the end, I had to go with City Lights because to
me, it has one of the all time greatest endings to any movie.
It's left ambiguous for the viewer to decide what happened next.
But I will say this, The Kid was so close to being in the top
spot and on a different day it may have taken that spot. But for
today...it's City Lights.

I honestly have not seen many Chaplin Movies, so I'm pretty
biased on my choices, but I do remember Modern Times pretty
clearly.

Modern Times is a fantastic movie and probably has the most
iconic image associated with him outside of his cane and derby
hat with the Gear wheels he gets to ride in the movie. I'm gonna
bust out my DVD box set and review each movie separately as it's
been awhile since the last time I watched them. Do yourself a
favor Mac, if you want something along the lines of a refresher
course on the man and his movies, you can't go wrong with
Unknown Chaplin. I'm pretty sure you can find a copy at your
local library.
I think I may just bust that out first before the set. Both are
phenomenal.

Have you ever checked out Chaplin

It's been a while since
I've seen it. Really don't recall much about it. Don't know if
it's me or the movie.

Yeah, I've seen the movie quite a few times. This was the movie
where we finally get to see that Robert Downey Jr. could act.
And did he ever! His Oscar nomination was justified.

[center]Top 10 Movie Monologues

As with all Mojo Top 10 List, I always try to guess who will be
in the #1 spot before watching the video. In my mind, I had
chosen A Few Good Men. Not only was it not the #1 pick, it
wasn't anywhere in the Top 10 or the Honorable Mentions list.
But when they revealed that Charlie Chaplin held the honor for
his moving speech in The Great Dictator, I couldn't have agreed
more. Whenever I watch the movie, its this scene that I'm
waiting for.
