This weekend will be the last in Take-Up's month-long Charlie Chaplin series. For those turned off by silent films, The Great Dictator is filled with sounds, not to mention always hilarious Chaplin gags and spoofs on Nazi Germany. Peep 'em at the Trylon this Thanksgiving weekend, y'all!

(1921, 35mm, 73min) Chaplin's first feature—a touching comedy that sees the Tramp and the titular child as partners in crime. When the state tries to take the kid away, Charlie stops at nothing to get him back. Considered Chaplin's most autobiographical picture. With the short film "A Day's Pleasure" (1919).

(1940, 35mm, 124min) Charles Chaplin's riotous blast against the Nazi war machine sees the Little Tramp in a case of mistaken identity—a Jewish barber becomes Hitler! Among his many successes, Dictator was Chaplin's biggest hit.
