Love both of these:
1. American in Paris
2. Father of the Bride

Pretty sure I've seen Meet Me in St. Louis - but it was years ago and I don't remember it well. Need to revisit it to have an opinion.

Not much of a fan of his work, but Tea and Sympathy is just cute enough to vote for. Oh, An American in Paris is pretty good, too. Maybe even better, but I already committed and I fear change.
