#58 The Gold Rush
1925
Director/Writer: Charlie Chaplin
Starring: Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin is a prospective miner and shows up to Alaska (in not enough layers) to look for gold. One of a few silent movies on the list, and I liked this one a lot. I was laughing out loud (which is rare, because I don't typically like comedy movies!!) The humor is so basic, it's just naturally funny...

#59 Nashville
1975
Director: Robert Altman
Starring: Too many people
Ok, I had to fight to get through this one. I wasn't interested in the story or the music. I don't get why this movie made this list!! I can think of movies that were further up on the list that were 100 times better!! Oh well, I can't like them all...

#60 Duck Soup
1933
Director: Leo McCarey
Starring: Groucho, Harpo, Chico Zeppo Marx
Groucho Marx as Rufus Firefly, who gets elected president of Freedonia.... and mayhem follows. The second of the Marx bros. movies on this list, and I am still up in the air about whether I like them! I didn't expect there to be singing in this one... don't know that it needed it!

#61 Sullivan's Travels
1941
Director: Preston Sturges
Starring: Joel McCrea, Veronica Lake, Robert Warwick, William Demarest
Great old movie about a movie director who wants to make a movie about hard times. Once he realizes that he doesn't really know about hard times, he sets out to learn for himself... on the way he meets Veronica Lake (how gorgeous is she?!) And then he really learns about hardships, but learns by the end of the movie about the strength of laughter.

#62 American Graffiti
1973
Director: George Lucas
Starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Cindy Williams, Charles Martin Smith, Paul Le Mat
The movie follows a group of high school graduates as some prepare for college, and some stay in their small town. Overall, a fun movie to watch!
Cameos are awesome- Wolfman Jack, Suzanne Somers and Harrison Ford. And the music is probably some of my favorite- might be one of the best soundtracks ever!
