I love to watch movies. There is so much artistry that can be found in movies, if you look for it. I watched "The Cat's Meow" which was made in 2001 and is about the movie industry in the 1920's. That got me thinking about Charlie Chaplin. He is an amazing artist. He was an actor, director, filmaker, composer and musician. His talent is incredible, his movies say a lot without using dialogue. I recomend "Modern Times" to start. it is in black and white but the quality and message is incredible.

"Modern Times. A story of industry, of individual enterprise - humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness." That is a direct quote from the opening credits.
Love old movies! Love everything old for that matter...Anyway, I watched "The Gold Rush" the other day with Charlie. You're so right about him. He's one of a kind.
