Again, I find myself in agreement (at least mostly) with Jim.

First of all, Stalag 17 is a truly great, and somewhat underappreciated film. I obviously think Jim undervalues the Apartment by withholding that 1/2 star (after all, for me, it's my #1 film of all time). I also think Some Like It Hot is better than Sunset Blvd. (one of the few Wilder's that I don't like - it's well done, it just doesn't click with me), although Sunset Blvd. is heads and shoulders above the cheesy All About Eve (which I'd give 2 stars less than Jim gave).
