The Great Dictator 1940
Perhaps only Chaplin could make a cream pie in the face feel so classy.
As a comedy, it's fantastic - like discovering a Mel Brooks film for the first time. As a satire, it's accurate and cutting. The final speech, after you've been battered by slapstick and misunderstandings, hits with a beautiful level of sincerity.
All the more tragic is that this played, at least a small role, in Chaplin's eventually exile from the United States. The greed which creates hate continues to leave the world unsafe, from then until now.

Oh Shrek.
