“Smile” is a given, so I won’t name that.

There are a number of songs that are wonderful, like “Eternally” (theme song to Limelight), or A Paris Boulevard from Monsieur Verdoux, or “Georgia/The Dance Hall” from The Gold Rush. Those are closely behind my favorite

Mandolin Serenade. I just adore it. Many of his songs just melt my heart, but this one the most.

Below is my favorite version of it, even more than the original (it seems seems like a song called Mandolin Serenade should have a mandolin more in the spotlight)

And here he is conducting it. I guess “conducting” is the best word for what he’s doing, haha
