The beginning fifteen or twenty minutes of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times is
hilariously funny, but also helps the students to understand the critique of
modernism, Taylorism, and Fordism.  I show it in our Introduction to the
Information Society course to help students see a contrast between the
"efficient, modernized world," and the networked, information world.
