41. Some Like it Hot (1959)

Photobucket

Will you look at that! Look how she moves! It's like Jell-O on springs. Must have some sort of built-in motor or something. I tell you, it's a whole different sex!

My favorite comedy of all time. It's got it all: Hilarious caricatures of mobsters, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis disguising themselves as members of an all-girl band in order to escape the mob, having the mobsters show up where they went anyway (and, thus, having to maintain their disguise), Lemmon spurning the affections of gentleman who won't take no for an answer, Curtis falling in love with the band leader, and (the glue that ties the whole thing together) Marilyn Monroe in the best performance of her all to short life just being the sexiest goddess to ever grace the movie screen.

Regardless of your views about "black-and-white" movies, this is one that you need to queue up immediately. It may just make you want to watch more!
