And it's interesting to watch, over time, how films that earn 4 stars early on often end up with 3 or even 2.

We could go on and on thigh. Cautious how current polls neglect these movies altogether in picking "the best all-time movies," but then they have plenty of superhero movies among them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07407056803955925235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-58941882274753743652015-05-26T20:53:43.749-07:002015-05-26T20:53:43.749-07:00Hi Lê, Thanks for the link to your contribution.

How appropriate! But, hey, I thought you took the easy road by not defining a single classic film fave! I'm just joking, of course, because honestly I struggled between ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD and VERTIGO...two very different films, but I adore them both. I think many other participants felt the same way.

I'm like you -- I'd have to break it up into genres, actors, etc. I picked Going My Way because it is a favorite of mine for certain reasons, and I love it. I really liked your breakdown of films.

In-laws took to teasing me about every movie being a "favourite". Maybe it is something peculiar to rabid film fans, but we get it. We can have this blogathon for years with the same folks highlighting a different favourite and for very specific and personal reasons.
