Thread Name: BS: The 100 greatest movies of all time
Subject: RE: BS: The 100 greatest movies of all time
Two Charlie Chaplin films are there, but not "The Great Dictator". Two James Stewart films are there, but not "Harvey". These lists don't mean much. It's not a bad list though, which mainly comprises of very good films. However, I am surprised to see the appalling "The Sound of Music" in there. I start to feel compassion for people who want to strangle nice English nannies and cute little kids when I see that one nowadays. I have never been able to watch more than the first ten minutes of "Gone With The Wind". The staggering ineptitude of the acting and direction ought to succeed in at least making it (unintentionally) funny. However, it is so cringingly embarrassing, you can't bring yourself to mock the afflicted. I know some people can tough out the whole thing - but not sensitive guys like me.
