Description:
Four of Charlie Chaplin's greatest films. "The Gold Rush." (1925, 71 min.) - Chaplin's classic comic masterpiece about the hardships of life on the Alaskan frontier, battling blizzards, bears, killers, crazed gold miners, and even gravity. "City Lights" (1931, 87 min.) - The touching story of a young blind woman who believes the Little Tramp to be a wealthy duke, and the series of comic adventures when he sets out to earn the money to pay for an operation to restore her sight. "Modern Times" (1936, 103 min.) - The Little Tramp battles technology, unemployment, jail, burglars, demanding customers, bosses and "The Gamin." Chaplin's last silent film is remarkably unsilent, featuring the only time the Little Tramp's voice was heard on film. "The Great Dictator" (1940, 125 min.) - In his first talking film, Charlie Chaplin skewers Hitler on sharp spears of ridicule, playing both the malevolent dictator Adenoid Hynkel and his lookalike, an innocent Jewish barber.

One way to learn about life is to live it. For a crash course, watch these films. Chaplin understands us human beings, our strengths and our weaknesses as a species. More gripping than any lecture on morality, on love, on technology, on government, on modern society could be. I particularly recommend that young people put aside current fashion and spend time with these films, enjoying them and thinking about them. "City LIghts" is one of those films that ends with you crying and wanting to ... Read More

I was delighted to get these Chaplin films in sparkling DVD prints. These are some of the greatest comedies ever made, and the ending of CITY LIGHTS is one of the greatest shots in cinema.
The boxed set has fewer extras than I expected. Where is the shot of Chaplin rehearsing one of his scenes from CITY LIGHTS in street clothes? The footage exists, but It's not included here.
I also see no reason for an alternative soundtrack on MODERN TIMES. The original is more moving, surface ... Read More

I just finished watching the fourth of the four DVDs in this set, and all I can say is that there is not enough space to do these films true justice. Chaplin is one of the true cinematic geniuses of the twentieth century and "The Gold Rush", "City Lights", "Modern Times" & "The Great Dictator" represent some of his crowning achievements.
"City Lights" (1931)is one my top favorite films of all time--the end sequence has me blubbering like a baby every time I see it--balancing brilliant comedy ... Read More

I had been wanting to buy Chaplin DVD's for some time and this boxed set provided me with the perfect opportunity. Not only did I save a substantial amount of money, but it had the four movies which are a must for every movie collector. All of them are classics including my favourite City Lights (whose last scene is described as the 'highest moment in cinema'). It's a joy to watch these timeless movies and worth every penny spent and more. The Chaplin repertoire is illustrated vividly and completely in the ... Read More
