Logline: The Lone Prospector (Charlie Chaplin) travels to Alaska in a quest for gold, but gets more than he bargained for when he becomes involved with some hardy characters and falls head-over-heels for the gorgeous Georgia.
Memorable Moments: In the scene (shown above) entitled “Thanksgiving Dinner”, the Tramp boils his boot and shares it with a large, burly dude.
Why People Love It: Movie critics widely dub The Gold Rush, much like the invention of film itself, to be one of the greatest films of the early twentieth-century—and the one that Chaplin remarked that he wanted to be remembered by.
Best Quote: The film is a characteristically-of-the-era silent one.
