       | A fan once came up to Cary Grant and said: "I wish as could be as
       | suave and sophisticated as you are in the movies!" Grant replied:
       | "I wish I could be, too."

         | Eventually you will encounter him. His Girl Friday is a
         | favorite movie.

         | You're missing out. If nothing else, you have to watch _North
         | By Northwest_ , but there are so many great Cary Grant movies,
         | it's hard to pin down a "must watch" list. Everything from _Mr
         | Blandings Builds His Dream House_ through _That Touch of Mink_
         | and onto _Charade_ or _To Catch A Thief_ and dozens more in
         | between. And my all-time favorite, _Father Goose._ And I 've
         | left out some of his best ones; those are just the ones that
         | spring to mind that weren't necessarily mentioned in the
         | article (there are plenty in there, too).
         | 
         | Seriously, do a search for best Cary Grant movies and go seek
         | some out; even though nobody can agree on the order of said
         | lists, everyone agrees which movies should be on there.

         | ago and it's understandable. He was old news when I was young.
         | 
         | That said, check out _Charade_. It 's amazing.
         | 
         | EDIT: crap, no, 45 is right.
