So here's my quickly compiled (I went through my DVD collection) top 10 of most ENTERTAINING movies ever:

Blade Runner (USA 1982, Ridley Scott, with Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer & Sean Young)
Bullitt (USA 1968, Peter Yates, with Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn & Jacqueline Bisset)
Charade (USA 1963, Stanley Donen. with Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn & Walter Matthau)
The Court Jester (USA 1956, Melvin Frank, with Danny Kaye & Basil Rathbone)
The Devil's Brother (USA 1933, Hal Roach, with Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy)
The Great Race (USA 1965, Blake Edwards, with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis & Natalie Wood)
The Jungle Book (USA 1967, Wolfgang Reitherman, with Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera & Shere Khan)
North By Northwest (USA 1959, Alfred Hitchcock, with Cary Grant, Eve Marie Saint & James Mason)
The Philadelphia Story (USA 1940, George Cukor, with Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn & James Stewart)
Some Like It Hot (USA 1958, Billy Wilder, with Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe & Tony Curtis)

...damn, no Marx Brothers movie in my list? Or should I replace one of them with...Moneky Business...or A Day at the Opera...this is so hard...anyway...I just stop thinking about it and leave it as it is.

My list shows two things:
- Hollywood makes - or better: made - the world's most entertaining movies, at least in my opinion.
- Cary Grant has probably the best track record of entertaining movies ever (and I didn't even list his other movies which became timeless classics, such as Bringing Up Baby, His Girly Friday, Arsenic and Old Lace or To Catch a Thief). No wonder many consider him the greatest movie star ever. This guy chose his screenplays wisely - granted though, he had it easier because many of Hollywood's 1930s to 60s screenplay writers, producers and directors were lightyears better than most movie people who succeeded them.

@Veknoid, you can add this as my list if you want.

I will proudly add it :)

And we should talk movies some time.
