Some Like It Hot (1959) (Movies To See Before You Die - Comedy) |
Popularly remembered and loved all over the world for its great comedy, performances and direction, SOME LIKE IT HOT is considered as one of the Greatest American Comedy of all times by the American Film Institute and many other reputed critics. Nominated in 6 categories in the Academy Awards, the film also won an OSCAR for Best Costume Design and the reason for this recognition was right there in its hilarious plot which had two male actors dressed as young ladies for the major part of the film.
Directed by the maestro Billy Wilder, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and George Raft in the key roles, the film has a great script with many entertaining & funny sequences coming one after another to keep you glued to the screen throughout. Though, it actually starts with a crime-thriller kind of sequence where the two boys accidentally witness a gang-war killing and then run away from there. But just after 20 minutes of its proceedings, it gets transformed into a funny one, once the boys get into their girly getups and then start shifting between their dual personalities perfectly.

Hi Chris, 3. Films like Bladerunner , Aliens and Terminator are examples and should be there I think? 4. No action genre? any reason for that? Rocky ,First blood (Stallone) + our very own Amitabh films like Don do deserve that tag 'Movies To See Before You Die' don't they? ---- Hollywood is free to rank its movie as they like but I dont have to follow them to make my list frankly.......and truly speaking i have got the least interest for Technology driven (or based) and Science Fictions unless they have something extrordinary to give back related to LIFE itself or they are great entertainers as the few added in my list like DISTRICT 9 and more.......... 6. I mention these films because you have listed many famous films and even films like Bean , here it is universally acknowledged that the TV series was infinitely better than the film. |
