Well, picked up Modern Times, and very much enjoyed it. The quality is outstanding from my non- professional HTF perspective, and the film is very entertaining.
The package is beautiful, but the disk is slight marred? by that appalling FBI warning. (The off kilter, out-of-focus, black and white with a bit of red one, that's been hangiing around for decades. When is that freakin' thing gonna be restored!!!
I don't think I like Chaplin's persona enough to buy more of the set, and will save my next classic purchase $s for Laurel and Hardy
PS, I agree, this is a fantastic thread for the info on many silent films it contains. I'm happy to bump it up again.
