A list of all Charlie Chaplin films made by the artist between 1914 and 1967.

“A King in New York” - premiered at the Leicester Square Theatre in London on 12 September 1957. The film fared well in Europe, but its lack of American distribution severely hampered its commercial impact. The film was released in the United States in March 1972, opening at the Little Art theatre in Yellow Springs, Ohio. It was shown at UCLA in November 1973 and then opened at the Playboy Theater in New York on 21 December 1973.
~ 1959
“The Chaplin Revue” - written and directed by Charles Chaplin, which compiled three of the seven shorts made for First National between 1918 and 1923 — "A Dog's Life", "Shoulder Arms", and "The Pilgrim". In addition to editing and re-assembling the shorts, he composed musical score and added a narrated prologue and 1918 footage shot for “How to Make Movies” (X).
~ 1967
A Countess from Hong Kong - Charlie Chaplin's last film is a charming romantic comedy, full of the clever moves that made him famous. However, it's not up to me to judge the master of pantomime's achievements.
In the photos, director Charles Chaplin in the company of stars Sophia Loren, Marlon Brando and Sydney Chaplin (his son), enjoying champagne, probably to celebrate another birthday of the director.
Charlie Chaplin's work remains relevant today because it is based on universal values, emotions, and social issues that, over a century later, still resonate with contemporary audiences. Charlie Chaplin masterfully utilized slapstick comedy, which requires no words, making his films accessible to all geographies and generations. Chaplin was a visionary – he directed, wrote the screenplays, composed the music, and starred. His attention to detail makes these films still captivating. His work is a "silent philosopher of laughter," whose performances remain an unparalleled model for subsequent generations of artists.
