1.Bishop's Wife starring: Cary Grant, Loretta Young, David Niven, Monty Woolley, James Gleason directed by: Henry Koster April 27, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.95
An angel comes to visit a bishop for Christmas, to guide him away from material things and toward a higher purpose. With Cary Grant as the angel, this should be a better movie. But poor direction from Henry Koster and a disappointing performance from Grant leave it lacking. There's so much room for magic in this movie, but instead we get a heavy dose of cheap special effects. Still, David Niven and Loretta Young bring the story back to its true message and that always leaves my eyes a little watery. Monty Woolley turns in a respectable performance, too. None of that explains why I find this movie so compelling. Maybe it's just that I'm a sap for the season. Maybe it's the small but lovely contributions of Elsa Lanchester and Sara Haden as the bishop's housekeeper ... Read More

2.Arsenic & Old Lace starring: Cary Grant, Josephine Hull, Jean Adair, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre directed by: Frank Capra July 10, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.99
I recently purchased this classic black and white movie starring Cary Grant, and I really liked it. I had seen it many times when I was younger but the last time I had seen it was several years ago late at night on some satellite channel. When I first watched this dvd I realized that the version I had always seen on T.V. had been edited. The difference between the dvd and T.V. version were that the introductory screen credits to the movie was a Halloween cartoon and there were several other scenes that had been edited or deleted altogether. There were a few special features but nothing too exciting. I would have rated this movie as perfect except for the fact that it has outdated slapstick humor and of course it is only b&w (black and white). I would have preferred for it to be ... Read More

3.The Philadelphia Story starring: Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, Ruth Hussey, John Howard directed by: George Cukor September 19, 2000

A must for every fan of Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant. Funny, sad, touching, wonderful!

4.Notorious starring: Fay Baker, Ingrid Bergman, Wally Brown, Louis Calhern, Ricardo Costa (II) directed by: Alfred Hitchcock September 10, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.94
Excellent, well-paced and well-acted movie. The two leads work excellently together and the villians are menacing.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
Good Old Fashion humor. A couple of Film classic scenes ( the Building Consultant telling Gary Grant "tear it down" or the painting Foreman listening to Myrna Loy explain in great detail the shades of colors that she wants the rooms painted and the Foreman telling the painters "Red, Blue, Green and Yellow"

7.An Affair to Remember (1957) starring: Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, Richard Denning, Neva Patterson, Cathleen Nesbitt directed by: Leo McCarey February 04, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.75
Leo McCarey's 1957 remake of his 1939 Love Affair stars Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as two completely different people who end up falling in love on a transatlantic cruise. Nickie Ferrante (Grant) is a smooth-talking playboy who has a new girl every night, but his free reign as a bachelor is coming to an end as he's about to marry millionaire Lois Clark. Terry McKay is a nightclub singer in Boston and is in a long-term relationship. Nickie pursues Terry, who at first refuses, but the two fall deeply in love aboard the SS Constitution and try to hide their blossoming romance from curious onlookers and the ship's photographer. Nickie takes Terry to meet his octogenarian grandmother during a shore leave, and Terry is deeply attracted to the peaceful haven overlooking the Mediterranean. When they arrive ... Read More

8.Once Upon a Honeymoon starring: Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant, Walter Slezak, Albert Dekker, Albert Bassermann directed by: Leo McCarey April 14, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.75
This movie is a romantic comedy about a radio reporter named Patrick O'Toole (Cary Grant), and a socialite named Katie O'Hara, aka Katherine Butt-Smith. The movie is set during the World War II amidst Nazi invasion of Europe, and concentration camps, which makes the theme of the movie a little insensitive and offensive. On the positive note, the movie has an excellent cast; Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers (in my judgment they make an excellent couple), and it is directed by Academy award winning director Leo McCarey, known for classics such as; An Affair to Remember; Love Affair; The Awful Truth; and Going My Way. When gold-digger Katie travels from to Austria to marry Baron Von Luber (Walter Slezak), amidst Fuehrer's invasion; Pat O'Toole prepares to cover the big story of an American showgirl marrying a rich ...

9.Mr Lucky starring: Cary Grant, Laraine Day, Charles Bickford, Gladys Cooper, Alan Carney directed by: H.C. Potter April 14, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.90
I can't figure out why such a great classic hasn't been put on DVD yet! Maybe the reason I really like this movie is because it shows what a great actor Cary Grant is! You can't help but like him - even if he does play a crook. Along with the drama, you'll laugh hilariously at the comedic moments - one of which includes Cary learning how to knit. he look totally natural knitting away with all these ladies adoringly looking at him. But the one he falls for happens to be the fundraiser of the organization he is trying to swindle. Cary is Joe Adams a.k.a Joe Bascopolous, the handsome owner of a gambling ship trying to dodge the draft. His plan: steal the proceeds of a charity ball raising money for the was effort and abscond to South America. But there's one thing he hadn't bargained on, and that is Dorothy Bryany (Laraine ...

10.Operation Petticoat (Ws) starring: Cary Grant, Tony Curtis, Joan O'Brien, Dina Merrill, Gene Evans directed by: Blake Edwards November 23, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.75
One of the very funny lines comes from an officer watching through binoculars as Nick Holden brings a boat load of nurses back to the sub from a bombed island: "Wow -- now that's what I call scavenging!" The officer is played by Dick Sargent, the second Darin on "Bewitched." Matt Sherman comments that he's a little concerned about Lt. Holden's influence and recommends a little less "Wow" and a little more "Tsk Tsk."
