The Adventurer
“This is a severely underrated Chaplin short... it is beautifully executed, is absolutely hilarious and it’s a cute story.”
4)
Monsieur Verdoux
“This, I feel, was one of the greatest Chaplin movies despite it being of a slightly darker character compared to his earlier films. His acting is absolutely incredible, though and the character of Verdoux is amazing.”

Easy Street
“An amazing short... really cute and well executed.”
