That’s right, I’ve never seen Gone With the Wind or Titanic, and I don’t want to. (The North won. The ship sank.) No desire to see most of the ones I haven’t seen, except some of the old ones, like Grand Hotel. My favorite on this list is The Sting, followed by Annie Hall, Casablanca and It Happened One Night. And I have fond memories of seeing Around the World in 80 Days; watching the screen expand as they went up in the balloon was amazing to me as a child. My mother compared it to The Wizard of Oz going from black and white to color when Dorothy gets to Oz.
