The Philadelphia Story
I may or may not have seen The Wolf Man, but I don't remember, so no vote.
The Philadelphia Story features three of the cinema's greatest actors all at the top of their game. I love this film so fervently, that when I recently watched the musical remake, High Society, I couldn't keep my poise. Every five minutes it was "Hey, why'd they change that?" or "Hey, why didn't they change that?" It's not a bad film, but I guess there's no pleasing some people.

Abstain X2
Odd Man Out seems like a film I might like. I'll have to try to get a hold of a copy at some point. I'll eventually get to City Lights as I complete the AFI list. Sullivan's Travels and Pépé le Moko are both 4  films in my estimation, but alas, I can't vote in either match-up.
