- EVERYBODY ELSE: We don't know.
City Slickers:

Dr. Strangelove:
- Oops.

Dr. Strangelove as well. I also really like the version of Great Expectations, because that's exactly how I felt when I read it. Dickens had great plot and stories, but should have sold the rights to a way better director, so to speak.

My favorite is still Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
My only complaint with the site is that they don't seem to like Kurt Vonnegut.
