CITY LIGHTS

Way back when I watched a lot of movies, my other hero was Charlie Chaplin. I especially like CITY LIGHTS. Sure, it's pretty hokey in a way -- sentimental with that old-fashioned blind flower girl needing expensive eye surgery to see again. Yet by the time Charlie gets out of jail and the now-sighted girl now running a full sized flower shop understands that the rich handsome man who gave her the money for her surgery is the poor tramp . . . I am touched. So sue me.

And the entire sequence of Charlie saving the life of the drunk rich man who loves Charlie when he's rich but can't remember him when he's sober . . . is incredibly funny and well done. Great example of the state learning you can learn about through NLP.
