| 1. |  | The Chaplin Collection, Vol. 1 (Modern Times / The Great Dictator / The Gold Rush / Limelight) from Warner Home Video Price: $73.73 Movie Review: Charles Chaplin was the greatst cinematic genius of the 20th century. His brilliance was celebrated and recognized for decades, but then America brutally turned against him. How it grieved him that his adopted homeland, the country that had given him fame, riches and untold fortune, denounced him as... |

| 2. |  | The Art of Buster Keaton from Kino Video Price: $179.96 Movie Review: The 11-disc set of Buster Keaton's work is, of course, a must-have for Mr. Keaton's fans in particular and silent movie fans in general (sorry..). Having all these wonderful movies on DVD is truly a dream come true. That being said, I must point out one or two things with which I was disappointed.... |

| 3. |  | Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) from Paramount Home Video Price: $12.29 Movie Review: SUNSET BLVD. is one of the great cinema classics, period. The noirish look of the movie is the best aspect of it. The opening scene beautifully sets the tone of the movie. The shot of Bill Holden's lifeless corpse floating aimlessyly in the pool is one of the best shots in cinema history. Wilder is... |

| 4. |  | In the Good Old Summertime from Warner Home Video Price: $16.38 Movie Review: This story of two co-workers who loathe each other--and then perversely fall in love when they correspond anonymously through a lonelyhearts club--has been filmed three times, first in the 1930s as THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER with stars James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan and most recently in the... |

| 5. |  | A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum from Mgm/Ua Studios Price: $13.01 Movie Review: This movie has the same effect on me as when I watch any of the Three Stooges comedies (with Curly, of course) - I can view it 100 times, and never get bored with it. The insanely fast pace of this picture keeps you moving from one scene to another, gag after gag, joke after joke, so your sides have... |

| 6. |  | The General / Steamboat Bill Jr. from Image Entertainment Price: $21.74 Movie Review: Great cinematography and action for one of the most impressive early comedies. Roger Ebert calls the Alloy Orchestra "the best in the world at accompanying silent film". The orchestra provides the perfect background for this movie so that I didn't even miss the dialogue. After all, 90%+ of the movie... |

| 7. |  | Modern Times (2 Disc Special Edition) from Warner Home Video Price: $26.06 Movie Review: AFI's (American Film Institute) top 100 movies in 100 years (1998) gave Charlie Chaplin 3 spots (Gold Rush 1925, City Lights 1931 & Modern Times 1936). An incredible accomplishment since these are Silent Classics. Charlie Chaplin created the infamous "Little Tramp (Derby hat, goose mustache,... |

| 8. |  | Beach Blanket Bingo from MGM/UA Video Price: $13.01 Movie Review: BEACH BLANKET BINGO is considered by many as their favorite "Beach Party" movie. In order, my three favorites are BEACH BLANKET BINGO, PAJAMA PARTY and BEACH PARTY. In this sequel, Dee Dee (Annette Funicello) and Frankie (Frankie Avalon) decide to take skydiving lessons from the hard-nosed pilot... |

| 9. |  | The Great Dictator (2 Disc Special Edition) from Warner Home Video Price: $26.06 Movie Review: "The Great Dictator" is an effective, if uneven, satire that displays Charlie Chaplin's mastery of pantomime and social commentary. This was his first talking picture and features his inspired dual role as Hynkel and the Jewish Barber. However, with the exception of Hynkel's globe dance and the... |

| 10. |  | The Gold Rush (2 Disc Special Edition) from Warner Home Video Price: $26.96 Movie Review: The Gold Rush is a silent Charlie Chaplin movie from 1925. The version that I watched on this DVD was a reissue of the movie where Chaplin himself adds narration to the movie. Not having seen the unaltered original, I can't make any comparisons to that. However, for the movie that I saw the narration... |
