I don't think Chaplin even deserves to be in the top 10. That wasn't even his primary function. He was a comedian. You wanna talk comedian directors, Buster Keaton was a better director than Charlie Chaplin. There are too many great directors to place him anywhere near up there. Kubrick, Lang, Welles, Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Leone, Lean, Griffith, Melies, Ford, Lynch, Coppola, Scorsese, Scott, Herzog, Spielberg, Godard. I wouldn't even say Chaplin deserves to be in the top 25.

@WanderLink No, Chaplin deserves to be in the top 5 though I would be hard pressed to name who I would remove from your fine list. Watch "City Lights". It's a heck of a lot harder to act when you can't speak lines.

I wish that GSN would put this show, and the other good old black and white shows back on the air. I used to watch GSN every night back then, and now I hardly ever watch it. People and shows were classier and much more entertaining at that time. I'm only 36 and never watched them live, but I wish I could have.

Watching these WML? clips is such great fun and also a bit sad. It makes me wish for times when there was wit and class on TV.

Chaplin? WTF? That's an odd choice for great director let alone second greatest. I say
1. Stanley Kubrick
2. Fritz Lang
3. Orson Welles
4. Alfred Hitchcock
5. Akira Kurosawa

I'll take it one further and say that it has been the systematic dumbing down of America by the Establishment. Ignorant people are easier to mislead and control. I realize that might sound paranoid to some people... but it isn't.

@JustJokingYou well.... stanley kubrick is at the same level as he is, actually in my opinion, the best directors are arranged like this:
1: Hitchcock, Kubrick
2: Chaplin, Orson Welles
then the rest
