The Kid (1921)


IMDb plot summary: The Tramp cares for an abandoned child, but events put that relationship in jeopardy.
Directed by Charles Chaplin. Starring Charles Chaplin, Jackie Coogan, Carl Miller, and Edna Purviance.

Nice mix of comedy and drama -- some really lovely images highlighting character sadness, as well as a few laugh-out-loud moments. Maybe my favorite Chaplin after The Great Dictator?

How it entered my Flickchart:
The Kid > Four Weddings and a Funeral
The Kid > Quartet
The Kid < Glengarry Glen Ross
The Kid > Robin Hood (1973)
The Kid < E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
The Kid < How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
The Kid > Anomalisa
The Kid > The Muppet Movie
The Kid > The Impostors (too high on my chart)
The Kid > The Red Violin
The Kid < Bruce Almighty

Final spot: #470 out of 2723.
