The Gold Rush
Charlie Chapman wrote the story, screenplay and the music score for this silent film. He also directed and starred in it. One of the reasons we think of him as a genius is because he was able to play all of these roles so effectively.
Mask the sound (silence it) the first time you watch the movie. Listen to his score the second time. One more time, view the film again without the sound and imagine your own music.
