Wins my vote!
"Some like it Hot" often makes it to the top 20 of Best Film Ever charts, and generally No 1 for Best Comedy ever!
This movie deserves all the praise it gets! It's a witty, sharp and purely entertaining movie. All the components, be it script, acting, directing, all come together to form what a comedy should be.
Rent this one, you won't be disappointed! And after that check out any of Billy Wilder's movies such as "Sunset Boulevard".
A real gem!
The Greatest Film of All Time?
Simply put, Yes. Witty, Sharp and with a cast to Die for, all of whom nail their respctive roles (even if apparantly Marilyn needed enough takes to film several films).
There is not a foot out of place and probably the best film ever ends with the best last line. If you have never seen it then rent it now and see what you've been missing.
