Cary Grant films
Yes, that really does say Cary Grant films, and im probably destroying the last crumbling semblances of pride and respect I have on here but I really like watching his old black & white gentle comedies of the 40's and 50's

Its like comfy slippers, watching him toddle about in his gentlemanly gad about town apparel, daft accent and smooth charm in those old farce / comedy films just brings back memories of rainy summers in my youth plonked in front of the telly with mum ironing and nan knitting in the corner while we all chuckled at his antics.

Couldn't name any of the films now but used to run them on an afternoon on BBC two.

sigh, those were the days.

Cary Grant is one of the best
My favorite of his is I Was A Male War Bride. Cary Grant in a dress trying to go overseas with his new wife (who was in the military).

The guy is perfect.
He is the one person I can think of who actually makes smoking look cool. Humphrey Bogart is the only other possibility, but he just looked like he would pick a fight with you and absolutely thrash you, but Cary would look at you with contempt, say something cool which would destroy you, and then walk off, leaving you looking like a tit.

And the line "It's Heroin. Peppermint flavored Heroin." from Charade is possibly the funniest line in a film. Ever.
