Grant, Cary Grant



January 18, 1904 - November 29, 1986


Trying to pick the best Cary Grant movies is like choosing a favorite family member. For me, it just cannot be done. I love so many of them for different reasons. Cary Grant is one of the best there ever was. He was a type role actor, yes, but he did what he did well. Who can't resist that gentlemanly charm and charisma? The man just knew how to wear a suit.

Thus this week I am sharing five Cary Grant movies that are imperative for everyone to see. The five movies that you need to add to your "movie bucket list", the movies you can't consider yourself a Cary Grant fan unless you watch... you get the picture:


An Affair to Remember (1947)


The Philadelphia Story (1940)


Talk of the Town (1942)


Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)


Father Goose (1964)

There are so many more I could add to the list, but these are the few everyone must see. There is also so much I could say about how wonderful Cary Grant was but I would rather you take the time to watch what he has to offer than read my jibberish. Hope you take some time to let Cary Grant add some charm to your life!
