I was watching Benny and Joon tonight, and the character of Sam is supposed to be a "second Buster Keaton". This is a little funny because the most famous sequences from the movie are Chaplin bits.
The Dance of the Dinner Rolls definitely is. It's from The Gold Rush.
I'm almost certain that the Runaway Hat thing in the park is also Chaplin, although I can't name the film off the top of my head. I suppose if you take the entire sequence it's probably a mix of Chaplin and Keaton gags -- but Sam is awfully high on the Chaplin for a Keaton fanatic.
