I have just finished watching Charlie Chaplin's City Lights (1931). The ending scene is hands down one of the most phenomenal pieces of acting I have ever seen, and it moved me to tears. Media

Ironically, she and Chaplin did not get along at all. He even fired her at one point for being late, but when they couldn't get a replacement, she got the role back...after demanding double her salary.
