This great and very diverse collection deserves to be in your collection if you are a chaplin fan!! It includes 6 movies, a collection of shorts ('the chaplin revue', which has seven shorts that amazon's description forgot to mention) and one documentary on chaplin only available through this set, and while not all the films are masterpieces, this is $100 retail for 6 films, 7 shorts and the documentary (12 discs) while buying them separately would cost $175 retail minus the documentary! And although I know that not every film in the set will have mass appeal, if you are planning to buy 'city lights' separately from this collection with one other from here, go for the set instead. The value screams for itself: all these films are unique and what has been done to restore them is fabulous. Dont pass it up!!
