City Lights (1931)

Name: City Lights
Rating: 8.5

Crime drama / Historical drama / Romance / Romantic comedy / Comedy drama / Musical comedy

Famous for the scene in which the tramp buys a flower from a blind girl, this was Charlie Chaplin's first film in the era of talking pictures. Romance, clowning and great slapstick, including the boxing sequence where the tramp dances round the ring.
