Good afternoon, All!
I just wanted to let all of FlicksChick.com’s followers know that I’m taking a short sabbatical from the blog for about two weeks. Posts for the next film, How Green Was My Valley, will resume the week of June 25. Thanks for all your support!
In the meantime, here’s something to discuss if anyone so desires. As I’ve been viewing the Best Picture winners, I’ve been ranking the films according to my own humble opinion of them. Here is my list so far:
- Gone with the Wind
- You Can’t Take It with You
- All Quiet on the Western Front
- It Happened One Night
- Rebecca
- Mutiny on the Bounty
- The Great Ziegfeld
- The Life of Emile Zola
- Cavalcade
- Wings
- Cimarron
- The Broadway Melody
- Grand Hotel
Please feel free to share your own opinions on my rankings and/or your own hierarchies of these classics. Here’s a funny fact to start the conversation: Grand Hotel, though last on my list, has actually received the most views for its Weekday Warm-up. Go figure.
Best regards,
Sarah
Had to comment I would put “You Can’t Take It With You” higher, but I think age makes me value comedy more each day! Otherwise agreed! Grand Hotel is just not my cup o’ tea! 🙁
Funny you should say that, Valerie, because I did spend a little time pondering if I could put “You Can’t Take It with You” above “Gone with the Wind.” In the end, I think it was simply the scale of the film that led me to put GWTW higher because I personally enjoy YCTIWY much, much more! Thanks for your feedback!
