Well this is a little embarrassing, but I've seen all 50, and many of them more than once.
The Bells of St. Mary's has been done multiple times; I assume this is the Bing Crosby version. As for The Robe, Jean Simmons stirred my manhood as a young lad, and I named a character in a high school play after her co-star, Victor Immature. I suspect I've seen most, if not all of the next 50 as well. I'll have much to answer for at the judgment bar when reviewing what I did with my poor excuse for a life. I'd also appreciate a tally of how many acre-feet of popcorn I've consumed over the years. |

I'm glad you were clear about which Simmons stirred your manhood. Not that there is anything wrong with Gene doing so, but I would think you were more of a Paul Stanley kind of guy.

49.
I am pretty sure I have seen The Bells of St. Marys, but I am not positive.

I am not familiar with Thunderball, Cleopatra, The Robe or the Bells of St. Marys. I have never gotten around to seeing, but want to see, Dr. Zhivago and The Sting. No real interest in Blazing Saddles. Just never really appreciated Mel Brooks that much.
The rest I have seen.

Cleopatra is an important movie as far as cinematic history goes......one of the top 3 most expensive movies to make of all time....original cut was over 6 hours long.....Liz Taylor and Richard Burton begin the first of a long series of ill-fated romances...the movie which allegedly launched the "closed set," wherein only authorized movie personnel were allowed (reason being was that Liz had to go topless for a couple of scenes...even though you saw nothing on camera, you could kind of see through the water, and the set was closed to most of the crew). Also, she introduced a wave of starlets flashing their mammary glands as a legitimate career move. If you have never seen The Sting, please stop being deprived and watch it immediately. It is Redford and Newman at their finest, with a great performance by Robert Shaw as Doyle Lonagan. It also re-introduced Joplin and ragtime to the masses. Blazing Saddles......classic Mel Brooks spoof of Westerns and all the inevitable cliches that go along with the John Wayne movies, including the line, "we'll head them off at the pass!"....to which Harvey Korman even says, "I hate that cliche!" There is even a scene or two wherein Madeline Kahn looks attractive, so you know the movie is special.

and my favorite of the entire movie...a Harvey Korman (Hedley Lamarr) quote: "My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought, cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives."
