Chaplin or Keaton? (my Charts)
These are all Chaplin and Keaton-films i really enjoyed.
"Beatles or Rolling Stones?" in music is "Chaplin or Keaton" in film. So i tried to answer this question (for myself) with this list.
for me its (Beatles and) Chaplin. He is the better filmmaker and actor... but - for sure - Keaton has also made great films.
i have read a text in which the author claims that Keaton was the inventor and Chaplin the conjurer. I can't agree with that. For me Keaton is the Stuntman, the actor of action and of entertainment films, while Chaplin is the cult figure, the icon, the comedian who was always also a social critic and his films have - i think - some more depth.
But i really wouldnt like to miss the films of Keaton.
i haven't seen all films of both, some important films are still missing ;-) but i ve seen more than listed here. in this list are just the recommendable ones
