Modern Times is remembered as one of Chaplin's most cheerful films. The production line scene is one of several classic comedy sequences in the movie

Rotten Tomatoes

The final scene in 'Modern Times' is stunning... it's a final good-bye to an era, which gives me goosebumps.

Time Out

Antics and situations from the earliest shorts are revived in a narrative framework designed to portray 'humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness'.
