Yeah. Chaplin's movies are simply a standard for movies from the twenties to the fifties. ``City Lights," ``Modern Times," and ``The Great Dictator,"-- these movies have attracted great interest among audiences not only in America but around the world. A lot of his movies are also very popular in China. To this day, the supply of classic Chaplin DVD collections can't match the demand.
