Cantinflas - Where to start? - Blu-ray Forum

Ninty64X · 09-09-2014, 11:23 PM

Hey everyone, I recently just heard a movie about the comedian Cantinflas is out, and while it hasn't gotten good reviews, it got me curious about the guy it's about. After some reading I'd love to see some of his movies, anyone Charlie Chaplin liked is a must watch in my book, but there's little info I can find about them. The Little Priest (El Padrecito), sounds good, so I would really like to hear some thoughts on that one, but I'd mainly love to hear what the best movies he made were. Thanks in advance!

All I know about him is that he became an international star (for a short time, anyway) due to the popularity of the Oscar winning and box office success of Around the World In 80 Days. They then tried to capitalize on his popularity by starring him in a film called Pepe. It was a dud and that pretty much put him back to his roots in Mexican films. Those I don't know about other than seeing some movie posters from them. He seemed to be extremely popular in those along with another comic I don't know much about: Tin-Tan.
