The great dictator is by far the best movie Charles Chaplin ever made. The fact that he made the movie at the start of WW2 started makes it even more insightful, as most Americans were not aware of the fascism the NAZI regime entailed. Hitler banned the movie in all occupied German countries (of course), but apparently he had seen the movie himself at least twice after the ban in private screening.

Not to mention it is funny as well.
Best regards,

Yeah, well, I would highly reccomend everything that Chaplin directed, from the shorts that make up the Chaplin Revue all the way up to Limelight. Of course, most of his films are OOP, and Criterion is only releasing them at a snail's pace; right now, only The Great Dictator and Modern Times are in print, but, if you were only to watch two Chaplin films, those two might be the best choices. That and City Lights. And The Gold Rush. And Monsieur Verdoux. And...
