Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Gresh854 Who knew comedy could be portrayed so damn beautifully? City Lights is made with such a heart of gold that it's hard not to smile throughout its entirety. Just the mannerisms and little individual components each character posses are so so genius and amusing. I didn't necessarily fall head over heals for City Lights, but I certainly appreciated the craftsmanship shown throughout the piece. There's just something oddly charming about Chaplin that I can't quite put my finger on... (Verdict: A-)

Pjtaylor-96-138044 This silent cinema staple doesn't quite have the heart of 'The Kid (1921)' or anything quite as brilliantly entertaining as the final slapstick set-piece from 'The Gold Rush (1925)', but it does have its lion's share of memorably mute moments proving that Chaplin really is the king of this kind of comedy. 'City Lights (1931)' is enjoyable throughout and tells its story deftly, but there are several slow segments - perhaps somewhat expected from a film of this age but not excused, considering that the era and talent have produced pieces superior in this regard - ultimately making this a fun watch which often represents uproarious cinematic entertainment in its purest form but isn't the best of the bunch. 6/10

Bryan Bjerke You're probably deciding to watch this because it's in the Top 250 movies of all time. Let me tell you that it totally deserves its spot at #25 for Top Rated English Movies. I'm not a huge fan of Charlie Chaplin or silent movies in general, but this one surprised me. It was funny, but yet had a serious tone at the same time. My only wish is that the ending would've had more to it. It wasn't a bad ending by any means, I think it's just me wanting to see more since the movie was so good. Just do yourself a favor and watch it already!

sophieberger One of my favorites, City of Lights, was a Charlie Chaplin that came out in 1933. Charlie Chaplin plays a broke man who wonders the street with little purpose. That is until he meets a poor blind girl who sells flower. Charlie is immediately mesmerized by the girl and was willing to do anything for her. In order to save her from a large debt, he faces challenges to earn money and gives up a life for himself to make her happy. The entire film not only was full of laughs but also moments of tears. With a heart- warming ending, I highly recommend Charlie Chaplin's City of Lights.
