So, we've watched a LOT of Charlie Chaplin on this list, but this is my absolute FAVORITE. While the depression-era fate of the "Little Tramp" was just sad in "Modern Times" & "City Lights," his character is refreshingly funny in "The Gold Rush." The normal Charlie Chaplin antics are mixed with almost Saturday-morning-cartoon-like scenarios - a house nearly falling off a cliff, a huge snowball rolling down a mountain, a bad guy falling over a cliff to his death. For some reason, this one was funny to me in a way that the others weren't. I'm glad I watched it, even if I was dreading "another Charlie Chaplin film" when we started it.
