City Lights (1931)

Audiences applaud the athletic antics of Buster Keaton, but I've always been more of a Chaplin man. He's been accused more than once of over-sentimentalism, so if that means associating me as a sentimentalist, so be it. This silent classic finds the Little Tramp attempting to raise money to pay for a blind flower girl's eye operation. Contains so many classic slapstick sequences, I struggle to contain myself. I cry like a bitch at that ending every time. Enough said.
