Charlie Chaplin Posted Thu Aug 10 20:38:51 BST 2000 by Ed wilson

I know I may be deeply unfashionable but does anyone else here like Chaplin at all? I know a lot of his stuff is outdated and mawkish and sentimental by todays standards, but I watched 'Modern Times' the other day for the first time in ages and was laughing out loud at least as much as I do when I watch Eddie Murphy or Steve Martin or Jim Carrey etc (and this is not a pop at them because I love the best of their work too)

I genuinely like his serious stuff. The 'comedy' ones are excruciating.

Do you just mean "The Great Dictator"? That was pretty funny actually.

Only memories of this bloke kicking someone up the arse (a lot)while hanging on to his hat I'm afraid.
