My Fair Lady

The other Hepburn and the inspiration for Stewie from Family Guy star in this ritzy musical “romance”, the 66th edition of the T100P. We, uh, didn’t love My Fair Lady. In fact, “tearing new ones” rises to a new level. Find out why!

  1. The main reason I watched this one was because of its influence on ‘Family Guy,’ especially re: Stewie. And holy crap, does McFarlane ever do a bang-on Henry Higgins impression! But apart from enjoying that aspect, I found this movie pretty fluffy and inessential. And it has no business on Earth running three hours!
