The Cary Grant List

Has it really been over two months since my last post? Ouch. I really have no excuse other than that life happened, my apologies!

Last week I decided I wanted to watch more Cary Grant movies. Cary Grant is wonderful and I had watched His Girl Friday at the beginning of the month; I'm in the mood for more. So after scouring the internet and bugging my friends for recommendations, I have put together this following list. I actually got quite a few excellent recommendations but decided to cap the list at ten. Make it something manageable to get through!

I will always take more recommendations though! Feel free to leave them in the comments. And let me know any thoughts you have on these! Follow the links for info from IMDB.

Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) dir. Frank Capra

Bringing Up Baby (1938) dir. Howard Hawks

Charade (1963) dir. Stanley Donen

Father Goose (1964) dir. Ralph Nelson

Operation Petticoat (1959) dir. Blake Edwards

Penny Serenade (1941) dir. George Stevens

I would write more about Grant and these films but I think it would make more sense to do that AFTER I've watched them. Don't you think?

About This Thing

This blog is about film and life in the wonderful world of LA. I'm a filmmaker just getting started; I'm navigating my way through the industry, trying to find work, and sometimes even managing to make a living.

I've worked across the country on projects big and small. Everything from an indie in PA shot during the dead of winter to one of the bigger reality shows involving Models and the things they do.

I also just love doing things*. I'm a writer, aspiring director, wannabe photographer and cook. I waste too much time on the internet and sometimes all I want to do is hang out with my dog.

Stick around and chances are you'll catch me writing about it all.

*I use the word "thing" a lot. An inappropriate amount. I can't help it. There are just so many different things to talk about. And I just kind of like it.
