Woman of the Year -  
Laughs list
Passions list
Good and funny movie. I don't know how many times I thought "Poor Spencer Tracy" throughout the film, but it was a lot. And his bewildered mugging is often quite funny. The best stuff was Kathryn Hepburn trying to fix breakfast though. 
They had a great chemistry together, watching them was delightful.

Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
Well, Nuke's scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man's here. We need a live... is it a live rooster?
We need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose's glove and nobody seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present.
Never fuck with a streak
DAMN! Now this is an absolutely great fing movie. Incredible lines, as funny as you could ask and a damn fine story. Love it. The only caveat is the slightly mushy ending and the silly love making scenes at the end, but I'll let those slide if only because you wouldn't see them if the film were made today.
This is one I want to own, which means its absolutely tip tip top.

Live live live, the whole world's a banquet and some people are starving!
Decent flick with some terrible overacting and lack of acting (the kid). Funny at times but overly long, clunky and uneven. Reminded me of overblown productions like Hello Dolly.

I've started a new thread since this one got over fifty pages long and was getting pretty bulky.
Plus, with a new list coming out, a new thread seems appropriate as well.
I'll ask a mod to archive this thread. I also finally updated the Stars listing per Evan's suggestions:
Laurence Olivier
Romeo and Juliet (voice over)
added: Wuthering Heights
Orson Welles
Magnificent Ambersons (voice over)
A Man for All Seasons (2 scene part/cameo) sad to see this go
added: Lady From Shanghai
Tragedy of Othello: Moor of Venice (as best I can tell this was US financing, but I'm not sure, Evan's suggestion of Chimes at Midnight seemed to be an all British production)
James Dean
Anyone Seen my Gal
Fixed Bayonets - both cameos
no films to replace them
Carole Lombard
My Best Girl - cameo
added: Hands Across the Table
Mary Pickford:
Little Annie Rooney
added: New York Hat (good example of her early stardom, versus the less significant but feature length Little Annie Rooney
Ava Gardner
The Band Wagon - cameo
Barefoot Contessa, The
