Very glad about Wonka. That film needs restoration help anyway.
Surprised that Rosemary's Baby hadn't' been included in earlier lists. I realize the overall list is long now, but I'm glad when it expands each year to include more films.

I cannot believe they are including one of my guiltiest of guilty pleasures, The Gang's All Here, with Alice Faye and Carmen Miranda and Charlotte Greenwood and Benny Goodman!
Carmen Miranda makes her entrance at 3:22, singing "Brazil," lowered from a cargo ship hidden in a bunch of tropical fruit, wearing a bunch of tropical fruit.
And then the whole cast discovers they're in New York and sings "You Discover You're in New York."

Later in the movie, she returns with more tropical fruits (and I'm not just talking about the chorus boys) sings the eye-popping "Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat":
Do NOT miss the dance with the phallic jumbo bananas that starts at 3:25 after the Busby Berkeley foot-fetish sequence.
