Limelight (1952)
10/10
Absolutely wonderful. Charlie is a Genius.
22 June 2006
I found Charlie a little over a year ago in my senior year of high school and since I saw my first clip of The Immigrant I have been absolutely fascinated with him. In a Charlie binge, I also saw The Kid, The Great Dictator, The Gold Rush, Modern Times, and 2 documentaries on him. Little did I know what greatness Limelight had to offer.

You would really have to see at least 1 of his previous films in order to really grasp how valuable this one is. His charm and wit in other films with his Little Tramp get up is enough to put me in awe - most people can't imagine the suave and sophisticated Charlie beyond the Little Tramp. Now I'm no movie buff or anything, but I felt that Limelight really showed the Charlie underneath... that intelligent charming man with years of insight and experience through ups and downs. I didn't figure out until the middle of the movie that his SON Sydney was in it and not his brother, after looking around and not seeing his brother anywhere. This is a film that will stand the tests of time with its message. Wonderful acting and chemistry. Funny, romantic, and truthful with the harsh ironies of life. This might just be my most favorite movie of all time, definitely my favorite of his.

I love this show. I watch it every morning when I get up. The characters are so damn cute and the animation is awesome. I love the Irish accents. I'm 19 years old and this show is one of my favorites. It kicks my ass. Whoever made this show is a genius. I seriously can't decide which character is the cutest. Maybe Molly. And I just figured out today that Mel Brooks does the voice of Wiley the sheep. This is theeeeeeee most awesome show Evarrrrr. Why do I have to make ten lines of text when all you have to do is go watch PBS and see how awesome it is for yourself. Do it. I seriously wish there were cute shows like this on when I was young. I do have to mention that Sean and Seemus get on my nerves though. Woo
