'Modern Times' has to be the greatest Chaplin movie ever made. The direction, story, script and everything else works so well. This was made in 1936 but it still has as much power over it's viewers as it did almost 70 years ago. City Lights was great but this is way better because it's not as 'sentimental'. It has all the perfectly timed gags and laughs you could expect from Chaplin and more. The extras rock too. From the documentares and 250+ picture gallery to Liberace singing 'Simile', this will not leave anyone disappointed. If you decide to buy a true classic movie from the 30's on DVD, make it this.
Modern Times is one of Chaplin's very best films. It's reminiscent of his earlier short subjects, in fact it's like four short subjects put together, you could even give them titles like: "The Factory", "The Jail", "The Night Watchman" and "The Singing Waiter". But above all, it is a very funny movie and not as sentimental as "City Lights".
Modern Times is a great movie, by my opinion, one of Chaplin´s best. He incorporates all elements of society of his times, through facial and body expressions gives us the message of his society which he so vividly expresses. I give it a special rating of one of the best movies ever made.
