Well, for sure Mr. Eric. And I never ever wore Miz Ellie's portiers!
When I want a good giggle I play my copy of Bringing up Baby. I don't thing they've made a better comedy yet!
Well I know one movie I would not want to have on this list. Last night we saw The New World. Talk about slooow! You could fall asleep for thirty minutes in the middle of it and not miss a thing. It did have some beautiful scenery and photography though
Dr. Zhivago?
Hmmm,Mom... isn't that where my marvelous name came from - Lara?
Before 1960 is classic? How could a year that I remember so well be already considered a classic?
You've made a very interesting list Cowtown Pattie. I've seen most of these, but without cable have only seen clips from Deadwood. I could pick "Paint your Wagon" for the western and sneak in another musical that way:)

Cool list. I agree with Bringing up Baby, although the one with Hepburn, Carey Grant and the dude who voiced fractured fairy tales on the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show is a close second. (How is that for convuluted??) It had the word Holiday in the title. Anyone know what the heck I'm talking about?
"Spooky" - Actually it was just called Holiday and also had Edward Everett Horton, the narrator of the Fractured Fairy Tales.
Bill - nope, it's pronounced Dooo-muss.
And the Texas Panhandle is full of tough REAL cowboys (not to be confused with that guy in the Whitehouse). I wouldn't risk calling their town "dumb-ass".
