A handful of funny gags, but it's pretty weak overall. I'm surprised since Chaplin's earlier Mutual shorts are quite a bit stronger.

This little abomination is when I started to realize Jonathan Rosenbaum and I may have rather different tastes.

Really dark and bleak humor in this one. Absolutely unrelenting.

Don't know whether it's Dickens worst stuff (never read it) or just the adaptation, but this sucks hard.

This is really an anti-samurai samurai film. Maybe that's why I like it so much.

Some nice scenes, but it doesn't capture the same magic for me compared to the other Godards I've watched (Breathless, Vivre sa Vie, Contempt, Pierrot le fou).

I agree, except this is not a Méliès picture. It's some obscure early American film. Regardless, it's quite fantastic.

Not even remotely what I would expect from Eisenstein.

Not all bad, but frankly pretty absurd.

For a film with so much action, this is pretty boring. Would still have been bad without the terrible supporting cast.

Anyone feel up to sorting these in the order they were added to the registry?

Well since this list is basically just a non-English language list, I think he was pointing out that this is silly because you could have innumerable lists that just arbitrarily excluded a particular language.

I like this one though since it's a list of favorite non-English language films from the perspective of an English speaking audience, and that's quite alright in my book.

No redeeming qualities whatsoever. Wouldn't past muster as a shitty pilot for a dramedy on the CW. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Ugh.

Especially damaged available elements, but the short is pretty much a dud anyway.
