I never would have ever watched a black and white Marilyn Monroe movie if my wife had promised to watch T2 in exchange for me watching it. It was absolutely hilarious. The chemistry and comedic timing between Monroe and Jack Lemon is wonderful. The story holds up and has one of the funniest ending scenes ever.

Love this one. Ended up watching it because all the hotel scenes were filmed at an iconic hotel in my hometown. The hotel was built in 1888 and last year finished a half billion dollar renovation that attempts to update the comfort but not the style:
