City Lights (1931)
10/10
I have seen virtually everything Chaplin has ever done.

I realize we vote as we see it,but to the 108 who voted 1 star,I ask which movie did you see?How can someone not be moved by the final scene which has been said to be the most moving in cinema history.Please give it a another seeing,and just maybe it will touch your heart like it has for so many for the past 70 years.

Greed (1924)
10/10
I have seen GREED in its remastered 4 hour version.
31 July 2001
I could easily comment the full 1000 words,but I type ever so slow. However,I will say that GREED is a true masterpiece.Never have I seen a movie that brings out the very worst in a human-being,greed.The effect Trina has on those around her because of her greed is so powerful ,it's a tragedy beyound discription.There is only one other character in the cinema I could compare in it's depiction on how money changes a person,and that would be Fred C. Dobbs from The Treasure of Sierra Madre.Please,if you haven't seen the newly restored 4 hour version,you must see it.However in all fairness the still images does take getting use to it,but once you do ,it becomes a greater MASTERPIECE. Thank You

Tumbleweeds (1925)
10/10
I am an ardent fan of the silent era,I am extremely knowlegeble.

Warning: Spoilers
Tumbleweeds has been said was the end of an era,maybe so in the silent sence.True it is that the westerns of Hart,Mix,Gibson,Anderson,Caray and others were over,but there styles were not. Western Stars that followed such as Tim McCoy,Tom Keene,Ken Maynard,Bill Boyd and others followed in the Tradition of Good over Bad.They lived by the Code of the West,they rarely drank,never drunk treated women with upmost respect,and use a gun only as a last resort .However the had a certain demeanor that when a scene ocurred they became part of the whole picture,not as a HOLLYWOOD STAR,but as a true cowboy who througt his actions was to become a HERO ,not because of his six-gun ,but because of his courage and honor. All these qualities what made William S. Hart the true heroic,but humble cowboy.That is why Tumbleweeds is a true classic in the way Hart faced with such obstacles never wavers ,even taking the time to help an elderly couple still after risking his life at every turn gives the claim to the young lady and her brother.Yes it was an end to an era,however it was the making of a true cinema Western classic.
