positive · AI labelView post →Premiered on this date in 1931: Charlie Chaplin's CITY LIGHTS. The first film of Chaplin's for which he composed the film score, along with Arthur Johnston. The music was arranged by Alfred Newman. CITY LIGHTS is widely considered to be Chaplin's greatest feature film. #filmsky #music #moviesky

City Lights (1931) When sound started getting popular in film, people were worried that the focus on dialogue over visual acting would cause film to lose its status as "the international language." Watching Chaplin be the last holdout of silent filmmaking makes me think they had a point.

neutral · AI labelView post →When I'm POTUS, I'm gonna dictate that chain movie theaters show repertory films from the past 130 years. No reason AMC can't show Taxi Driver sometimes or Cinemark can't show City Lights. We can't really relegate these films to home video only.

As for my favourites, here are two that immediately spring to mind - Sunset Boulevard, and City Lights (I'm not a Charlie Chaplin fan, but this movie is beautiful).

neutral · AI labelView post →Though i enjoy “The Gold Rush”, I prefer “City Lights” more. I think that maybe dealing with the stillbirth of his son and bonding with Jackie Coogan, while filming “The Gold Rush”, maybe the emotions he was dealing with factored into how he viewed that film.

Because it's regarded by many (inc me) as having the greatest ending in movie history. It's an an absolute masterpiece imo. (you'll need a toni tissues!)
positive · AI labelView post →The first time I saw City Lights, I was able to see it in an old movie palace and the intro feature was Easy Street accompanied by a live organist. It was a perfect intro to that film. City Lights -- to my mind -- is the best romantic comedy ever made. Or at least my favorite.
positive · AI labelView post →Charlie Chaplin resisted making movies with sound longer than almost any major filmmaker, famously releasing City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936) as silent films with musical scores and sound effects but no spoken dialogue. He did not make a fully-talking film until The Great Dictator in 1940
