Or should I replace one of them with...Moneky Business...or A Day at the Opera...this is so hard...anyway...I just stop thinking about it and leave it as it is. My list shows two things: - Hollywood makes - or better: made - the world's most entertaining movies, at least in my opinion. - Cary Grant has probably the best track record of entertaining movies ever (and I didn't even list his other movies which became timeless classics, such as Bringing Up Baby, His Girly Friday, Arsenic and Old Lace or To Catch a Thief). No wonder many consider him the greatest movie star ever. This guy chose his screenplays wisely - granted though, he had it easier because many of Hollywood's 1930s to 60s screenplay writers, producers and directors were lightyears better than most movie people who succeeded them. @Veknoid, you can add this as my list if you want. ![]() |
I will proudly add it :)
And we should talk movies some time.
