Not perfect, but full of heart. The tightrope scene with the monkeys is a classic of cinema.
Little tramp in a circus! The best idea in comedy history.
My personal favorite by Chaplin. Bittersweet and hilarious, but it can also break your heart.
One of the best Chaplin movies. Certainly my favorite. Perfect story and hilarious comedy. A masterpiece
I’m not usually a Chaplin fan, but this really works, perhaps because his silliness fits well into a circus atmosphere. Brisk and funny.
The terrific acting and expressive faces make this a silent film that still has a loud voice. Full of Chaplin's trademark timeless comedy.
Some of Chaplin’s finest physical comedy and stunt work put to a finely tuned script. A masterpiece!
Nice, Chaplin says a day without laughter is a day wasted ❤️
Chaplin explores the Tramp deeply here, and uses him to put ridicule and exploitative entertainment on harsh trial.
A really amazing Chaplin film, a classic. A very sophisticated film, very well directed and acted. If you love Chaplin's work- see this one.
