Charlie Chaplin : Age of the Chaplin Fans on this Board
Re: Age of the Chaplin Fans on this Board
18 year old male. Watched Modern Times about a month ago and fell in love. Have since watched The Kid, and The Great Dictator. And I have pay day and the Gold Rush at home. I love it!!
Also recently gotten into the Marx Brothers. Does anybody have any suggestions of film I should watch from that period? A rather big period I know, but any suggestions? Thank you!
Good Night, and Good Luck

Re: Age of the Chaplin Fans on this Board
I am a twenty year old male. I only just started watching Chaplin this year when I saw Modern Times and was amazed I was laughing out loud. Usually comedies made before 1960 produce little more than a bemused smiles in me. Chaplin was a cinematic genius. Thank God he wasn't born any earlier; we might not have ever seen him on film.

Re: Age of the Chaplin Fans on this Board
Good gravy, most of you Chaplin fans wern't even born yet until after Charlie died! I'm 50. I remember seeing him live on TV for a bit accepting an award. I also remember driving home on Christmas day thirty years ago and hearing on the radio that Charlie had passed overnight. Made for a sad Christmas.

Re: Age of the Chaplin Fans on this Board
I'm female, Italian and I was born in 1983. I recently became a Chaplin fan, so I've only seen "Modern Times", "A Woman From Paris", "The Great Dictator", "City Lights" and "Limelight", which immediately became one of my all-time fave movies. I just bought a box set on eBay called "The Little Tramp" which apparently features 43 of his films. I can't wait to receive it!

Re: Age of the Chaplin Fans on this Board
Hi I 31 years young and have been a Chaplin fan since about age 8. That's when I first saw the tramp in Modern Times. since then I searched for added to my collection nearly 30 different titles of his. Not all of which are considered his great works. However I also have collected several tramp items for my private collection. Along with two original movie adds from a closing New York theater. But I still seek more and will always be a true Chaplin fan.
Re: Age of the Chaplin Fans on this Board
I've known about Chaplin for about as long as I can remember, but I never watched a full movie of his until yesterday when I saw City Lights. It was really good, and the fight scene was hilarious.

Re: Age of the Chaplin Fans on this Board
20 years old now. I was around 13 or 14 I think when I first discovered Chaplin. I had just gotten into watching TCM and they were showing a few scenes from the The Great Dictator, particularly one of Hynkel's speech demonstrating Chaplin's amazing ability of language imitation. I had never heard of him till I saw those few scenes and I found them so funny I went ahead and ordered the special edition of the film with pictures and still. I've been in love with The Tramp since.
