I've seen them all and have to agree that these are some of the best. Do you agree? I wish George was my friend. 
Browns Fashion
he has interesting Tastes in Movies!! I am surprised he didn't Mention any Carey Grant Movies... I thought he'd be a North By Northwest or To Catch a Thief kind of Guy!! Oh well I love almost all the movies he mentioned which are his 100 faves.
1He has such great taste in movies, I love this list. Although, I would have expanded it to have included movies at the end of the 70's and I would have added Rocky (1976), Annie Hall (1977) Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977)
I could go on, but this is his list and not mine. You can tell he loves movies and the directors. The 60's and 70's had the best directors EVER!!
I feel bad that Leatherheads wasn't a box office hit because it seemed like a labor of love and it was a change from his serious movies with the exception of the Ocean movies. Leatherheads reminded me of movies that Paul Newman or Robert Redford would have made in the 1970's (The Great Waldo Pepper-1975 and Slap Shot-1977) George was having fun and it shows.
