Gone in 60 Seconds.
When I was 5, my mom was dating H.B. Halicki, the film's writer/producer/director/star, and I got to spend that summer on the various filming locations, and even be in a scene.
I knew film was going to be my life after that.

Kind Hearts and Coronets barely making the Top 50 alone disqualifies the list, but not having My Man Godfrey in the Top 25 is truly wrong.
