limelight's an okay movie. not really a comedy though. even the rare slapstick bits are in a different tradition than the comedy vein chaplin mined in silent era greats like the goldrush [sorry for the pun]. as a keaton fan, i also found his scene a little dissapointing.
i've seen a bit from chaplin, lloyd, keaton, linder, langdon and some others and keaton is definitely the pick o the litter for me. i strongly recomend steamboat bill, jr. or sherlock, jr. if you h'aint seen em yet, bob. for chaplin my faves are probably modern times and city lights, not necesarilly in that order.
the circus is another great one, nice review but i think i'd like to see you delve more deeply into the head-explodingly amazing, multilayered cinematic masterpiece that is riki-oh, heheheh...
