Surprised to see The Sting was so low. One of the greatest movies ever, starring two of the greatest actors ever.

I saw that about eight years ago. Didn't realize it was set in Chicago, but was able to get it based on the description. And I agree it is a great film.

A must-see movie. Redford & Newman were fantastic, but so were Durning, Brennan, Shaw and James Earl Jones' father, who played Luther. And the ragtime/Joplin score is one of the best ever.

Only 43% got Family Matters. Is Steve Urkel finally slipping from mainstream consciousness?

As a Chicagoan, I have a special appreciation for High Fidelity, Ferris Bueller, and the Fugitive, which play like a love letter to the city (except, you know, for all the crime in the Fugitive). They really give you a sense for the neighborhoods and the feel of the city in a way that the other works don't. Except possibly Barbershop, which I haven't seen.

Nice to see three John Hughes movies on the list. You could have put on more. Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and others are all set in Chicago, where Hughes was based.

"Police officer and family enjoy the antics of a nerdy neighbor"

Did they, though.
