Assuming you like classic comedies, that just means a lot of great films you can look forward to enjoying for the first time.

The Seven Year Itch

BTW, if any of these ARE in your top 100, I'd like to hear about it.

Since I’ve never put together a top 100, I can’t say for sure. I don’t really think that any would make the list; but about the only ones I would not want to watch again would be the James Bond and Chevy Chase. For me, Pillow Talk is a bit of a snooze, but I’d watch it again, and the rest I would give :star: :star: or :star: :star: :star:. (Out of four—for me three is a ‘must see’)

I've never seen nor heard of the remaining films, so Hopscotch, I guess.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles is in my Top 100.

I'm actually afraid to go to bed and risk missing the start of the next round....
