My Fair Lady is a musical targeting life's natural occurrences. The economic divide, family issues, spunky women and sexism at its finest. It is witty and charming along with a few good songs you can't help but repeat a few hours later. The story line reminded me of She's All That because they take this poor girl and bet that she can not become a lady, when in fact she does but still shows her roots from time to time. It's amazing how all of these older films clearly paved the road for the story line formulas that are used time after time after time today. Same story but with different characters. This film was a little too long for my liking but I could see how it got on the list. It's conventional and would appeal to a large audience at that time. Good but not amazing.
