The Gold Rush
Chaplin's most famous film, about which he is said to have said that it is the movie to remember him by. In it, Charlie is a prospector during the 1898 Alaskan gold rush who suffers the hardships of the environment and the greed of other prospectors, all of whom are of course bigger and stronger than him. The film contains numerous masterful comic sequences that start from what is actually a tragic situation: the shoe served as a gourmet dish with a wishbone (a bent nail) and spaghetti garnish (the shoestrings), the pathetic New Year's dinner without guests at which Charlie improvises a dance with two rolls and two forks, and the log cabin tilting dangerously on a mountainside are remarkable not so much for their originality as the grace and assurance with which Chaplin executes them.
