No silent film list would be complete without at least one Charlie Chaplin movie and The Gold Rush is one of his very best; it even made the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 best films of the last 100 years. It begins with Chaplin's most famous character, the Tramp, heading to the Yukon to prospect for gold. The Tramp has the worst of luck - Chaplin's films always have a good mix of tragedy thrown in with the comedy - so before too long the Tramp gets mixed up with a couple tough characters, gets lost in a snowstorm, becomes so hungry he eats his shoe, and then, after all that, he falls in love with a beautiful girl who barely notices he's alive. Of course, in the end the girl can't resist the Tramp's simple charms - Chaplin's films all do have happy endings.
