One of my all-time favorite movies!

Just too bad it’s in a year with Jaws - which deservedly won the Revised Best Picture award when I covered 1975 on the show over the summer.

On my top 50 list I submitted.

For me, the greatest action movie ever made. Oh, and it won the Revised Best Picture for 2015 when I covered it on the show last season. 🤘🏻

The third movie in this week’s CLP release that made my own top 50 list. Chaplin will always be a genius for what he did to push the medium forward.
