Out of all the Cary Grant comedies I love, I went with Bringing Up Baby, perhaps for nostalgic reasons, as it was one of those movies on TV all the time back in the 70s/80s, so I grew up with it in the same way my daughter now watches Pixar movies. His Girl Friday, Arsenic and Old Lace, and The Philadelphia Story might all be better, but I find something comforting about the frenetic energy of Bringing Up Baby. Another favorite I considered was Father Goose, another of his I watched probably fifty times growing up and quite a few more as an adult, but I knew it had no chance of making it.
Also love Raising Arizona, naturally, but I put only one Coen movie on my list.
My List:
3. The Jerk (#24)
4. Playtime (#48)
8. Being John Malkovich (#44)
12. The Apartment (#29)
13. Modern Times (#39)
16. Bringing Up Baby (#22)
21. One, Two, Three (#85)
22. Beetlejuice (#78)
24. Sullivan's Travels (#100)
