1. OMG! My Man Godfrey!

It is one of the great flicks. Powell is, as always, wonderful. Lombard is, as always, wonderfully Lombard. However it is the supporting cast that makes this film so great. That, and a crackling script.

The best of the 1930's loony comedies, the one by which all others are measured.

Plus, it has the significant advantage of having a defenestration!
