Gold Rush

I recently watched a film version of Charlie Chaplin's life. It was a good movie, and got me interested in silent-era films. Last night we watched the Gold Rush. Ben opted for the re-release version with Charlie Chaplin doing descriptive narration. His voice is really cool, but I'd like to watch the silent version.

The dinner-roll dance was my favorite. It shows up again in "Benny and Joon"...Johnny Depp mimics it. It's pretty great, but I must point out that there's not much better in terms of amazing acting than Charlie Chaplin.

So. Watch the movie...it's fun to see the context of the rest of the Chaplin movie. Heck, watch them both. Benny and Joon is a good one.
