Moving right along. 64-60. Master list.
64. Network (1976) - I actually watched this for the first time not long ago when it came on Turner Classic. God, how I love Turner Classic. Um, anyway, Network has a lot of good ideas, but it aged very badly. Originally it probably would have been pulling Five Stars, but for what is now eyeball rolling it's probably Three Stars.
63. Cabaret (1972) - Finally, a movie I thought I wouldn't like that I didn't like. It's so very refreshing to realize I do know my own tastes. The few moments in this that are worth something (the tutoring scene, the Money song) aren't good enough to wash the rest away. I like my musicals to be musicals. Two Stars.
62. American Graffiti (1973) - I am honestly not sure what the hell to think of this movie. If it had a plot beyond "kids out" I missed it, but large parts of it were damn entertaining. I...I just don't know. Call it Three Stars
61. Sullivan's Travels (1941) - Another for the "I'd never heard of it" pile. Very funny, and full of the 1940s style "super fast talking" acting style that makes the jokes that much funnier. The plot's been done since, and better (e.g. Life Stinks) but you can't deny the funny here. Fourish Stars
60. Duck Soup (1933) - Marx. Brothers. Five. Stars.
