Modern Times

1936 • Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman • Introduced by Film Archivist Stan Taffel • Modern Times is one of the cleverest, funniest, and most important films ever made. Chaplin’s iconic “Tramp” character struggles to survive in the modern, industrialized world, with the help of a young homeless woman. It’s the film that gave the world Chaplin's song "Smile", one of the most beautiful and most recorded melodies of the twentieth century. For anyone who loves cinema or comedy, it’s one of those films you want to see again and again and again.

The Great Dictator

1940 • Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Jack Oakie, Billy Gilbert • Introduced by Film Archivist Stan Taffel • Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Actor, this brilliant anti-war satire is anchored by Chaplin’s unforgettable parody of Adolf Hitler. The film was privately screened for Hitler himself (reportedly twice). Immediately after, it was banned in Germany. This is Chaplin's first film with dialogue, and he chooses his words carefully and beautifully during the speech at the conclusion of the film. A rarely screened treat!
