Top Ten favorite movies anyone? #10

Well, I was reccomended to make a favorite movie blog, (you know who you are:P) and I decided to make a whole top ten. I plan on doing one each day and going into a fair amount of detailon each movie. Disclaimer: I'm a movie-buff, I like old foreign films, get over it. :D Arright' here we go!

#10 A King in New York (1957) - Charles Chaplin

My favorite Chaplin film, it's about the king of a small European monarchy whose government is overthrown in a coup. The king flees to the US, bringing what was in his treasury with him. He eventually becomes something for American media to talk about, so he soon becomes a person of interest. After much extravagance, he realizes he's almost broke, so he begins to appear in television comercials marketing products for some extra money. The movie is a comedy, so of course a whole bunch of crap happens along the way, such as bad plastic surgery, choking on whiskey during a live commercial, and sheltering a communist.

A King in New York

Strip away the comedy however, and your left with a once relevant view on communists. Not surprisingly, asmost Chaplin's films have some sort of political slant.

Yes, this will all be short and sweet and to the point. That's all for now, see ya tomorrow with #9!
