There's some good movies there!

3. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House - Cary Grant and Myrna Loy?! Classic comedy!
4. A Shot In the Dark - Peter Sellers at his Cleusou silliest!
5. Bye Bye Birdie - Paul Lynde made my day!
6. Love Affair - Really? The movie Annette Benning and Warren Beatty??? "An Affair To Remember" is SO much better. If only for it's movie tie-in to "Sleepless In Seattle" and the world's goofiest movie quote "Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories... and we've already missed the spring". and then Cary Grant goes "hmmph" like he's agreeing with her. CLASSIC!
8. Gigi "Thank Heavens For Little GIrls" and "I remember it well" are two great numbers!
10. Arsenic and Old Lace - hmmm ANOTHER Cary Grant classic... am I detecting a theme? This and "Bringing Up Baby" are his two classic slapstick best. He says more with a glance or a simple hand movement then most comedic actors today can say in a whole movie.
12. Bringing Up Baby - oh, look! "Bringing Up Baby!" Katherine Hepburn... makes ME growl like a leopard!
13. Houseboat - yet another Cary Grant... has it's good parts, but it's one of his last comedies. He was having an extramarital affair with Sophia Loren at the time this was shot (and before it was filmed, too!).
14. Pee-wee's Big Adventure I just watched this one the other night. Didn't mean to, but it was on and it's just SO good that I got sucked in!
18. Ocean's Eleven (1960 version) Possibly one of the worst movies made in the 60's. Certainly a waste of celluloid.
19. Robin and the Seven Hoods - someone got on a Sinatra kick... I can't blame 'em, but there are FAR finer Sinatra flicks out there than these two!
21. Mr. Smith Goes To Washington - Starring one of my favorite actors... and I don't mean Jimmy Stewart (although he's on the list, too). I mean Jean Shepherd. A great morality lesson in a comedy... who woulda' thunk it?

Philadelphia Story ... WOW... Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn (at her "yar"-est) AND Jimmy Stewart? You knew that "The Philadelphia Story" was WRITTEN for Katherine Hepburn to perform on Broadway, didn't you? It achieved such great success, she brought it to Hollywood. You have GOT to rent "High Society" which is "Philadelphia Story" turned into a musical with the songs written by American legend Cole Porter. Stars Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly AND Louis Armstrong! Grace Kelly's last movie. She literally finished filming and flew to Monaco to be married. "High Society", "It Takes A Thief" (also with Cary Grant!) and "Rear Window" (also with Jimmy Stewart) are three exceptionally fine films and show Grace Kelly off at her sexy, classy best.

I saw most of the films listed here at a real movie theater in Palo Alto. I miss that place dearly. "The Stanford Theater".

p.s. I've been a netflix member for almost 10 years now. I LOVE Netflix!
