Number ninety-nine on the list was Stanley Kramer's 1967 classic "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner." This movie involved the daughter of two parents living in San Francisco bringing home her fiance of whom she met only ten days ago! The quickness of the marriage was never discussed in the movie because the focus was on her future husband being African American.
The whole movie was about how the daughter, played by Katharine Houghton, would make her parents be tolerant of their romantic relationship. The movie had laughs and drama and I could only imagine that it was a tad controversial for the year 1967. Watching this movie in 2010 was probably more comical than back in the sixties. Overall a good comedy and seeing Katharine Hepburn in her older years was amazing, she was still absolutely beautiful.
