The 30 Day Charlie Chaplin Challenge

Five years ago, I posted 3 Chaplin articles (Doctor Who meets Charlie Chaplin. Sort of – Comic Book Review, Sherlock Holmes – Charlie Chaplin connections, Matching a Charlie Chaplin film with music ) to celebrate his 125th birthday and the 100th anniversary of his first films. This year I have bumped it up to a 30 day challenge!

I had so much fun doing the 30 Day Doctor Who Challenge that I thought I would do another one, this time on another one of my top favorites. But this one was not as easy because, unlike the many different Doctor Who challenges that fans have come up with, there was only one that I could find for Charlie, and I only found a few parts of the 30, and that was from a few years ago.

So I decided to create my own, inspired by the bits that I found:

1 How did you become a Chaplin fan
2 Favorite female costar
3 Favorite keystone
4 Favorite Essanay
5 Favorite Mutual
6 Favorite First National
7 Favorite United Artists
8 Thoughts on “Chaplin” the movie starring Robert Downey Jr
9 Favorite all time Chaplin movie
10 Least favorite
11 Favorite soundtrack
12 Favorite song
13 Favorite unreleased film/home movie
14 Favorite heavy (bad guy)
15 If you went back to meet him, at what time in his life would you do so?
16 Favorite non-fiction book
17 Least favorite book
18 Favorite photo of him in costume(Little Tramp or other)
19 Favorite photo out of costume
20 As of right now, what was the last movie you watched
21 what non Chaplin movie reminds you of a Chaplin movie?
22 what was the last Chaplin movie you saw that you had not seen before?
23 Favorite male costar
24 Favorite scene
25 Favorite story about him told by him
26 Favorite story about him told by someone else
27 What film would you recommend to recruit a fan?
28 Favorite fiction book
29 Favorite documentary
30 Favorite piece(s) of memorabilia that you own

For those of you who want to have an image of the list, I created this one:

I was planning on working on this for this month, but some last minute life changes popped up. I don’t know how often I’ll write a post (took me a few days to write this one), but I know how I’ll answer them. Most of them. Some answers change slightly from day to day, mood to mood, lol. But I’m looking forward to it 🙂
