If you loved Limelight, the closest films we have are The Circus (1928), Modern Times (1936) and I Know Where I'm Going! (1945). All three share Limelight's romantic and tender feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Earrings of Madame de... (1953).

If Limelight hit the spot, these will too

Charlie Chaplin working the same nerve twice
The difference: 24 years apart, and the 1920s show

Charlie Chaplin directing both, with the same fingerprints on each

One thread runs through both: black and white

Both are built on the same subject: black and white

Romantic where it counts, tender underneath

Contemplative and witty in the same breath

The same preoccupation in both: ballet dancer
The difference: Takes it somewhere less witty than Limelight does

Romance built on romance, twice over

Playful drama, and it commits to that

Comedy with a pulse of tenderness, in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on romance

In the mood for more romantic?
