almost finished with the filmography of charlie chaplin i have enjoyed his famous titles over and over but never till now have i gone back to the beginning and watched all his myriad early shorts so a little while ago i decided to check them all out i started at the beginning and screened everything that was available now here is my verdict i like only a few moments or pictures from the zillion movies he made before THE KID but i like THE KID and then i really like A WOMAN IN PARIS and everything up to 1947 especially CITY LIGHTS and MODERN TIMES and THE GREAT DICTATOR i also admire MONSIEUR VERDOUX but last night i screened LIMELIGHT and as much as i wanted to like it i just could not although it is interesting it does not give pleasure this was my second time watching it by the way so i am not just being impatiently dismissive now i have two chaplin films left to view and both are british productions yuck but i will give them a chance and try to keep an open mind
