City Lights at The Rangos Giant Cinema

I will be curating and introducing the greatest film EVER!!!

Don't believe me?

Well, come on out and see for yourselves. You will be moved, I promise.

See one of the greatest silent films by one of history’s most iconic comedians on Pittsburgh’s largest screen! Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights is often considered by critics one of the highest accomplishments of his career and one of the greatest movies of all time.

A hapless but resilient tramp (Charlie Chaplin) falls in love with a blind flower girl (Virginia Cherrill) on the tough city streets. Upon learning that she and her grandmother are to be evicted from their home, the tramp undertakes a series of attempts to provide them with the money they need, all of which end in humiliating failure. But after a drunken millionaire (Harry Myers) lavishly rewards him for saving his life, the tramp can change the flower girl’s life forever.
