Limelight and City Lights are my favorite. He's also given a lot of credit because he directed, wrote, produced, and even instructed the choreography of all his silent era movies. He even composed the music. There's a reason he's legendary. All the while being born extremely poor and uneducated with only his skills as an entertainer to get him through, which is a theme in most of his movies.

And if you watch his movies in Chronological order, they get better.

By this I mean that you will feel a change in how it goes from completely silent, to having more music and a plot, to finally having dialogue starting with The Great Dictator. You watch his style evolve, but at the same time you might feel like most of his silent era movies to be too similar since they all share the same main character which is the Little Tramp

Try watching the movies with an open mind and the context of the years they were shot in.

While some of his films have social commentary, Chaplin was a comedian and his films were funny as fuck. You don't have to be a film student to enjoy them.
