agreed, some of the best moments in film are his
Chaplin was unfathomably popular, there was even a religious group in Vietnam that worshipped him as an icon!
He did a great deal to promote film as a popular medium and formed United Artists which gave actors a voice against the power of the studios
I wouldnt mind betting that with his image of the tramp with bowler hat and cane, baggy trousers and moustache, Chaplin created the single most universally recognised persona of the 20th Century
