The biography and career of Charles Chaplin have been described many times. And this is quite understandable, since, according to Bernard Shaw, Charles Chaplin is the only genius who came from the film industry. We will not retell these materials. We will only note that the greater creative path fell on the era of silent cinema. And on our channel, we are focused exclusively on feature sound films.

The Great Dictator. 1940. Movie's Rating - 8,334; 405th Rank in the Golden Thousand.

But in this "section" of cinema, Charles Chaplin demonstrated his genius, as well. He shot only five full-length sound films, but three of them entered the Golden Thousand. These are "The Great Dictator", "Limelight" and "Monsieur Verdoux".

Monsieur Verdoux. 1947. Movie's Rating - 8,186; 498th Rank in the Golden Thousand.

Charles Chaplin is included in FilmGourmand's list of the 100 greatest directors in world cinema. In memory of the great Master, we want to remind fans of his work frames from his best films included in the Golden Thousand.

Limelight. 1952. Movie's Rating - 8,224; 461st Rank in the Golden Thousand.
