Excellent list, many of which are on my list as well, though I'd take off Pretty Woman. Man, I hate that movie. I saw it in a theater with two old Brooklyn ladies sitting behind me who talked through the entire film ("Is dat Ralph Bellamy? Gawd, he got *fet*!") except for a moment of dead silence during the unsexy, positively creepy scene where Our Hero eats Pretty!Hooker out whilst playing the piano. I wish they'd have talked through that scene, I can't imagine what they'd have said, but I'm sure it would have been hella funny.
Since people are coming up with movies that would be on their list, I'll chime in, too: I'd put Cocteau's La Belle et La Bete, a wonderful live-action B&W movie that also happens to be the first movie made in France after WW2. OH, the angsty romance! He and Belle are perfect for one another, their relationship literally is magical... right up until the moment 3 minutes before the end when he actually turns into a pantalooned prince wearing a goopy hat with a plume. He's way prettier than *she* is, and, sadly, he knows it. But man, what a sexy Beast! Belle was as sad as me to see him go.
