I just can't get enough of this movie. Absolute brilliance which was achieved over 80 years back! Watch it as a sure shot way to make you laugh. That is why the Academy wrote this letter to Charles Chaplin on Feb 19, 1929 regarding this movie - "The Academy Board of Judges on merit awards for individual achievements in motion picture arts during the year ending August 1, 1928, unanimously decided that your name should be removed from the competitive classes, and that a special first award be conferred upon you for writing, acting, directing and producing 'The Circus.' The collective accomplishments thus displayed place you in a class by yourself." Absolutely genius.

Wonderful! Hilarious and sentimental. One of the more dramatic and tragic works of Chaplin, so much that the ending left a sting in my heart. Beautiful indeed.

F'r sure my favorite Chaplin feature. His most immediate and realistic study of the humility involved in good honest lovin'.

What I've come to notice about Chaplin's films is how the man can play with the audience in a way that has never been seen in any film since. He manages to make us hang on the edge of our seat while simultaneously having us laugh our bottoms off. Only Chaplin has turned sequences so thrilling and made them absolutely hilarious. Often, you see tension mounting with certain funny scenes, but they never equal the power of our beloved Tramp's. The Circus, in particular, tends to really put the audience on their toes while they slap their knees in laughter. We see him trapped in a sleeping lion's cage, walking a tightrope while monkeys crawl up and down him, and watch a donkey violently chase after him into a circus act. The comedy has never soared higher with his skill and craft and romance has never felt more sweet. The strange thing is, he doesn't get the girl in this one, but the romance that develops is still a winning one.

Another brilliant, yet underrated, Chaplin film. It's hilarious from the very beginning; the first five minutes where he's being chased by the police are some of the greatest moments in the entire film. And no one but Chaplin would think to clean fish from a fishbowl to appear busy. Genius.
