Mother dear do not feel too bad obsession must run in the family I have seen all but -5- of those movies... Poor little rich boy indeed! *scoffs* My Mother mocks the greatest film of the modern era, the shame, the shame...
Streisand and Sharif are FUNNY GIRL...
I just did this list and was really shocked to find out how many I *haven't* seen! I consider myself a huge movie fan, but I've only seen a little over half of these for sure (with a few in the "iffy" category...can't quite remember if I've seen the whole movie or just bits and pieces of it.)
But then again, there are many, MANY movies I would put on MY top 100 list that aren't on theirs. :-)
Kinda scary to think that I saw every one of those 1950's movies for the first time in the actual movie theater. Ice cream sodas after the movie were 25 cents. Aarrggggh -where did it all go??
