7. My Favorite Part...

...is the Charleston Contest, where two guys (one of them the actor who played Alfalfa in "The Little Rascals") opened the gym floor to reveal the swimming pool below.

3. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Cuz you get Jimmy + the Duke + Lee Marvin + Vera Miles + scads of character actors + great story + great message about America + John Ford directing.

"My name is Ransom Stoddard, attorney-at-law!"

+ cameo by John Carradine!

I also think it's Hitchcock's best.

5. Hard to choose, but I'd say "Harvey"

"The name is Dowd, Elwood P."

"...it's better to be nice than smart" (or something to that effect).

6. "Phoenix" is my favourite, too.

"Liberty Valence" is too dark, and frankly, until Ted Turner did us all a favour and bought the copyright, I was totally SICK of seeing "Life" 24-7 during December. I remeber one year I was running it, and EVERY un-scambled movie channel in the arc was running it, too. 27 outlets for "Don'tcha KNOW me Martinin? I'm GEORGE!!!" all going at the same time.
