Meh. Too many old movies in there. I think the people who make lists like this are willing to forgive corny acting in old movies because they remind them of the good ol' days, but they judge new movies with much more scrutiny.

And comedies never get taken seriously by these folks. I can watch a drama or suspense movie a couple times at most, but I've watched some of my favorite comedies upwards of 20 times.

Also, Star Wars but no Empire?
