1. Some Like It Hot


The last line is what everyone remembers first: “Well, nobody's perfect.” A kicker somehow delivered with both deadpan insouciance and saucy irony, aligning the most sweetly playful and most recklessly subversive instincts of Billy Wilder's matchless 1959 cross-dressing comedy. While its leading men totter awkwardly in feminine drag, the film surrounding them navigates a high tightrope in stiletto heels. As it skips from scuzzy underworld B-movie to riotous mistaken-identity farce to sweet hard-luck romance to dedicated buddy movie, Some Like It Hot passes any number of risky pitfalls where its joyous cheek could turn to sexist smut. That it avoids them all comes down to the stars' unflagging zest and the quicksilver cleverness of Wilder and IAL Diamond's writing, yes, but also to the unexpected tenderness with which the director treats his characters even at their most absurd. Witness the hilarious delusion of Jack Lemmon's maracas-shaking love hangover, revealing the heart of both a born conman and a queerly befuddled romantic. Nobody's perfect, but that's not to say a movie can't be. – Guy Lodge, Variety, UK (Credit: United Artists)
