Last week, I posted about having read an admittedly not-very-good biography of Cary Grant, and was all hyped up over the author's suggestion that he was bi, and... Well, I've deleted that post. For one thing, I was curious to see what other readers thought of that particular biography; I cracked up (and winced) when multiple reviews likened it to ( Read more... )

you know, it's hard to think of a really *bad* Cary Grant movie! Bringing Up Baby has long been one of my Top Ten movies, but there are lots of others that I enjoyed. even when the movie itself isn't terrific, his breezy style is just plain fun

Must-See (imo):
North by Northwest
To Catch a Thief
Notorious
His Girl Friday

Worth Watching:
Father Goose
Charade
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
The Bishop's Wife
Topper

The ones that sound interesting to me are The Awful Truth, Operation Petticoat, and Father Goose. Will definitely be re-watching Bringing Up Baby, since it's been so long. Keep the recs coming, please!

I asked my parents and grandmother, too, and this is what I got from them:

Grandmom: Charade!
Mom: Topper!
Dad: To Catch A Thief! No, wait, His Girl Friday! No, no, North By Northwest! No...hold on...

I love it when my dad reveals his inner fanboy.
