A tentative ranking of Chaplin's feature films:
Modern Times
City Lights
Limelight
The Great Dictator
Monsieur Verdoux
The Circus
The Gold Rush
The Kid
A Countess of Hong Kong
A King in New York
A Woman of Paris
Limelight could've been the greatest swan song for a director but he continued with AKINY and ACOHK, and while I still quite like the latter, they're demonstrably weaker than all his previous comedy works. A Woman of Paris was his turn at melodrama but without his endearing comedy to foster attachment to the characters, the drama doesn't even hit nearly as hard as numerous comedies.
I love everything else. He's one of the greatest to ever do it and his ability to weave social commentary, affecting drama, and heartwarming romance into brilliant slapstick makes him stand above his contemporaries, as much as I adore Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd.
