ENCORES-watched many times:
100 Men And A Girl (1937) Deanna Durbin, Adolphe Menjou, Leopold Stokowski. That hat! That feather! Deanna is the daughter of an unemployes musician. They have 100 and are trying to be heard by a benefactor. 8/10

His Kind Of Woman (1951) Jane Russell, Robert Mitchum, Vincent Price, Charles McGraw, Tim Holt, Raymond Burr, Jim Backus. They all seem to relish their roles. The Dame, the Bum, the Ham, The Thug, The Law, the Killer, and The Doofus. Tongue in cheek all the way but playing it straight. Who cares who did what? Enjoy the scenery. 9/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043643/
Stars And Stripes Forever (1952) Clifton Webb, Robert Wagner, Debra Padgett, Ruth Hussey. DVR's from TCM's 4th of July programming, I finally watched the last 30 minutes. Love those marches and they were never filmed better. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045187/
Support Your Local Sheriff (1969) James Garner, Joan Hackett, Walter Brennan, Jack Elam. Speaking of a cast with tongue firmly in cheek, here is a master class. Jim's lawman is on the way to Australia, Joan knows better, Walter and Jack steal their scenes and fun is had by the viewer. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065051/
Overboard (1987) Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Roddy McDowell, Edmund Herrmann, Katherine Helmond. Goldie as the rich bit-- and the good ole gal is priceless. Kurt is pretty. The kids are annoying. Helmond is too much, absolutely. Hermann and McDowell are always good. The clothes worn by Ma and Joanna on the yaught are a whole topic of their own. Fun to make fun of the ultra rich and their toys. 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093693/
