Charlie Chaplin






This funny video is from a movie called "City Lights"(1931) - one of the epic films by Charlie Chaplin.



Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor and filmmaker who rose to fame in the silent film era. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona "the Tramp" and is considered one of the most important figures of the film industry. All of his movies were comedies. It was silent films era, that means no dialogues in any of the movies. 

Here is a list of his famous movies. You should watch them, they are very funny and I am sure you will like them.






Charlie was an accomplished musician, though self-taught, he played a variety of instruments with equal skill and facility (playing violin and cello left-handed).

He was also a composer, having written and published many songs, among them: "Sing a Song"; "With You Dear in Bombay"; and "There’s Always One You Can’t Forget",

"Smile", "Eternally", "You are My Song", as well as the soundtracks for all his films. Charles Chaplin was one of the rare comedians who not only financed and produced all his films (with the exception of "A Countess from Hong Kong"), but was the author, actor, director and soundtrack composer of them as well.


Here is another funny scene from movie "the circus" :))
