Silence may be golden, but is "Modern Times"? This 1936 classic marks the final silent film of Charlie Chaplin's storied filmography, as well as the final appearance of his beloved Tramp character. A predominately pro-worker comedy picture, this film stands out on The List, as one of the oldest and one of the few sans dialogue (sort of). Can one, in the year 2024 C.E., still appreciate and even enjoy this film? See for yourself.
