Watch two classic Charlie Chaplin films back to back. City Lights: Talkies were well entrenched when Charles Chaplin swam against the filmmaking tide with this classic that is silent except for music and sound effects. The story, involving the Tramp’s attempts to get money for an operation that will restore sight to a blind flower girl, provides the star with an ideal framework for sentiment and laughs. Modern Times In Chaplin’s enduring classic, the Little Tramp is bounced into the ranks of the unemployed and teams with street waif Paulette Goddard to pursue bliss and a paycheck. Their misadventures include a roller-skating night watchman, a singing waiter whose hilarious song is gibberish, a jailbird and more.
