2. 'The Gold Rush'

The 1925 film directed by Charlie Chaplin stars the actor as his character known as the Tramp, who goes to the Yukon because of the reputed gold rush happening there. Misadventures include falling in love with a girl in a saloon and getting stuck in a cabin when inclement weather forces him to stay there.

A sequence in which Chaplin makes dinner rolls dance has been referenced in multiple other films, including the 1993 movie "Benny and Joon" and the 2011 movie "The Muppets." Actor Robert Downey Jr. also performed the routine when he played the actor in the 1992 biopic "Chaplin."

The movie is the highest-grossing silent comedy film of all time.
