LGM Film Club, Part 377: The Gold Rush
By 
When watching Chaplin’s The Gold Rush, one of the greatest films ever made, do you watch it in the original silent fashion or in the 1940s re-release when Chaplin, with his charming British accent, does a narration? I watched it this time with the narration. It is brilliant either way. I maintain that the potatoes as shoes dance is perhaps the best scene in film history. If you don’t like that scene, you must be one hard-hearted person. And that’s only one of like 15 brilliant scenes here.
