Lauren’s Rankings

While my wife hasn’t been reviewing the movies, she has decided to rank them.  There are clearly some similarities between our lists, with Mrs. Miniver and The Sound of Music ranking in the Top 4 of each.  But her #1 is only #10 for me, and my #1 is only #9 for her.  At least we can agree that The Great Ziegfeld and Cimarron were just plain awful.
