The Gold Rush, the classic 1925 Charles Chaplin silent Alaska Yukon rags-to-riches romantic slapstick comedy ("A Dramatic Comedy"; "Written and Directed [and scored] by Charlie Chaplin"; Chaplin is a prospector who goes to Alaska by himself in search of gold, and he falls in love with a dance hall girl who doesn't even notice him, and he gets lost and has many adventures) starring Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin), Mack Swain, Tom Murray, Georgia Hale, and Henry Bergman. Note that this movie not only contains the classic sequence of the snowbound Chaplin and Mack Swain sharing a shoe and eating it because they are starving, but it also contains the equally classic scene of Chaplin putting two dinner rolls on forks and making them "dance"! Also note that the movie was filmed "on location", but only for a small part of the movie did they go to the High Sierras. For the close scenes, Chaplin had artificial mountains created out of chicken wire and burlap covering 200 tons of plaster, 285 tons of salt, and 100 barrels of flour, and the artificial ice and snow was made of the same materials. 4 carloads of "cornfetti" were used for the blizzard scenes. They also transported much of the same material to the Sierra mountains to enhance the scenes shot there. The entire production took over a year, from first filming to final cut! This is surely Charlie Chaplin's greatest movie, and it is hard to argue with anyone describing it as the single greatest silent movie ever made, and both the movie and Chaplin are known the world over, even to people who have never seen this movie (but they certainly should see it!).
