Then again, I don't think I've only ever watched a handful of them. Yentl has exactly one song in it with different lyrics. I am not kidding. It's exactly the same melodic line and chord changes over and over again. If you don't like that song, you'll hate it. I like What's Up, Doc, but Madeline Kahn and Kenneth Mars were quite funny, and I liked the elaborate stunts. I saw A Star Is Born in theater when I was a kid. I hate that movie. I saw For Pete's Sake in theater as a kid but I recall very little about it. I don't like The Main Event, and the ending was incredibly stupid. I had no idea but Ryan O'Neil had been a boxer in real life.
