No, but I have The General on my watchlist! Is there any other you recommend?
I personally quite liked The Cameraman too! But make sure you watch more Chaplin!
City Lights, The Dictator, The Kid, The Circus and Limelight

Modern Times and City Lights both did nothing for me.
@Neiba:
Chaplin's filmography is a treasure. I love all of his films with a deep passion and they're all extremely rewatchable. My personal favorite film of his is City Lights, but Modern Times sure comes close. Be sure, besides his silent classics, to also check out his generally lesser known talkies, Monsieur Verdoux and Limelight! They're also brilliant.

When it comes to Chaplin I prefer The Great Dictator. City Lights a close second.

Even though I think Sherlock Jr. is his best, I think Steamboat Bill, Jr. is probably his funniest.
Go West is another good one.

Yeah I think Sherlock Jr. is just great as well, the scene where he enters a film is brilliant. The General isn't even that funny, its more a drama in my opinion, I don't understand why people list it on funniest films of all time.

It stands as one of the greatest special effects sequences of all-time, in my opinion. I love watching old movies and being stumped by how they did the effects, it's something that is lost nowadays with all of the CGI. Of course, I figured it out fairly quickly, but still impressive.

Damn, didn't know that. Crazy. You have to be crazy tough to do the kinds of stunts he did anyway. He was definitely a genius.
Get on it mate, it really isn't as hard to watch as people sometimes think. Especially the comedians like Keaton, Chaplin and Lloyd.

It may be the best romantic comedy ever made!
It has not so much physical humour as Modern Times nor so much social critic but it is an unique love story that is truly touching and deep! The ending is purely magic and the boxing scene is so so funny and well maid!
I can't say which I prefer, if Modern Times or this one because they are so different and unique at their own way!

I get into the habit of watching movies in parts as well. Though one thing i like about cable and commercial breaks, is that if two or three movies i like are on at the same time and have different commercial timing, then i can watch two or three movie simultaneously(doesn't always work out perfect).

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Robert Wiene, 1920) -
[REWATCH]
This is one of my favorite films. Another incredibly inspiring work for me, this is pre-Tim Burton and does Burton better than Burton (and I say that as a Burton fan). Amazing art style and a fantastic story to boot. It just oozes of masterpiece to me, I can't explain it.
I think it's time for me to watch something I haven't seen before. I've been watching a lot of movies I've seen before and really like, and I feel it's getting a bit repetitive. With that in mind, I have a bunch of films I haven't seen before and will probably get to one today.

This film is the exact description of a Film Noir. It has every single element that describe the genre, stylistically and structurally.
The plot gets a little messy at some point but overall it's a very good noir, with great perfomances from the two leading men, Mitchum and a young Kirk Douglas, and a lot of good lines! Jane Greer is also nice as the incredibly seductive and ambiguous femme fatale though she lacks a bit of strength in some scenes.
