City Lights
Chaplin’s City Lights is one of the most famous comedy films ever made. Despite being a silent film, it was a box-office hit and remains considered to be a masterpiece of cinema.
It was released in 1931 and it was one of the last silent films Chaplin made. Although talking pictures were on the rise, Chaplin remained stubbornly opposed to changing his style. He referred to himself as a “pantomimist” who worked exclusively with silent films.
The plot of City Lights is about the misadventures of Chaplin’s tramp character as he falls in love with a blind flower girl and develops a turbulent friendship with an alcoholic millionaire. It is a story of romance, humor, and conflict.
A major plot point is that the tramp tries to get the flower girl to regain her sight. It is this effort that leads to the film’s most memorable and emotional scene.
This is the scene where the tramp tries to convince the flower girl that he is a rich man so she can fall in love with him. This is a highly cynical scene, but it also has a great deal of heart.
The tramp goes to extremes to get the money to give the flower girl a chance of regaining her sight, and in doing so he demonstrates a lot of pity and generosity. It is this kindness that earns him a place in the hearts of viewers around the world.
It is a very powerful and emotional film that was able to capture the hearts of the viewers in its time. It is still a popular movie and has been ranked as number 11 on the American Film Institute’s list of greatest films of all time.

Bridesmaids
When Annie (Kristen Wiig) learns that her lifelong best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) is getting married, she realizes that she has no choice but to become her maid of honor. With no money to spare, she bluffs her way through the strange and expensive rituals associated with the role of bridesmaid.
At the engagement party, she meets Lillian’s cynical cousin Rita (Wendi McLendon-Covey), idealistic friend Becca (Ellie Kemper), raunchy future sister-in-law Megan (Melissa McCarthy), and Doug’s boss’ seemingly-perfect and wealthy wife Helen (Rose Byrne). Though they take an instant dislike to each other, Helen genuinely puts in the effort to be friends with Annie.
As their friendship develops, both women are jealous of Lillian’s growing popularity and status as a socialite. Helen tries to take advantage of Annie’s vulnerability to create a rivalry that extends to the wedding planning process.
Throughout the film, Annie and Helen battle over Lillian’s affections and her friendship with her fiance. In the end, they have to put their differences aside for the sake of their friend’s marriage.
The wedding begins with a bridal shower at Helen’s home that is themed as Parisian. Helen uses her influence to get the bridesmaids into the bridal shop and orders dresses for them to try on. Unfortunately, the whole group becomes ill from food poisoning.
Later, Lillian’s bachelorette party at her parents’ lake house is overruled by Helen and she books a trip to Las Vegas. Although Annie is concerned about her finances, Helen overrules her and buys a first class ticket for her.
She then decides that she is too proud to accept a ticket paid for by her friend, so she books a coach flight instead. During her trip, she is given sedatives by Helen that make her inebriated and paranoid.
On her journey home, she is involved in a car accident that causes her taillights to go out. Fortunately, she has her car insured and can get to her mother’s house in time.
The only thing that saves the day is the improvised romantic side-plot between Annie and traffic cop Nathan, played by Chris O’Dowd. It’s far from the sexiest, but it’s the funniest and most charming aspect of the film.
The Hangover
The Hangover is a comedy film that follows a group of friends on an outrageous night out. It is one of the most popular films in the genre. In fact, it became a franchise and received two sequels, earning an estimated $1.4 billion worldwide.
The film centers around a bachelor party in Las Vegas and is directed by Todd Phillips, who previously directed Road Trip (2000) and Old School (2003). It stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha.
When the movie was released in 2009, it raked in over $467 million at the box office and earned wide critical acclaim. It also won the Golden Globe award for Best Picture. It was the highest-rated R-rated comedy of its time, and went on to become an international franchise.
It is a comedy that follows a group of friends as they go on an outrageous night out in Las Vegas. The film is based on a script by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, which was first pitched to New Line Cinema in 2007.
After a rough run of bad movies, including his 2004 Starsky and Hutch remake and Borat, Phillips saw a chance for redemption with the Hangover. He enlisted screenwriters Lucas and Moore to write the script, which began as “It Happened In Vegas.”
They decided to make the story a mystery that would involve all the characters in solving each other’s problems. They framed the plot around the first night the boys had in Las Vegas and made each of them wake up to find a mystery that they needed to solve in order to get to the next scene in the story.
As a result, there was a lot of energy in the story and it kept the audience on the edge of their seats. As the movie progressed, there were more and more mysteries that were revealed.
There was a great amount of humor in the film and many fans liked how it balanced raunchy jokes with heartwarming moments. The film was also incredibly well-made, with strong performances from the cast and tight direction from Phillips.
