Cary Grant Movie Marathon

A list of some of my favorite Cary Grant films.

Town & Country

As a girl who was raised by my grandparents, I've became familiar with many older movies. My favorites include those with Cary Grant. He was easy on the eyes, he had a hard to pin down accent, and he appeared in some of the best movies ever made. Don't believe me? Check out:

1. "Suspicion" (1941)

"A shy young heiress marries a charming gentleman, and soon begins to suspect he is planning to murder her" (IMDb). C'mon, this is from the legendary Alfred Hitchcock! Romance and suspicion of murder, what more could you want?

2. "The Awful Truth" (1937)

"Unfounded suspicions lead a married couple to begin divorce proceedings, whereupon they start undermining each other's attempts to find new romance" (IMDb). Hilarious antics ensue in this charming movie - all in the name of love. This is an original romcom

3. "An Affair to Remember" (1957)

"A couple falls in love and agrees to meet in six months at the Empire State Building - but will it happen? " (IMDb). This is one of my all-time favorites. A true romance story for the ages.

4. "His Girl Friday" (1940)

"A newspaper editor uses every trick in the book to keep his ace reporter ex-wife from remarrying" (IMDb). This movie features a strong female character (Russell) who is a fast-talking, intelligent reporter that holds her own in a world run by men. Although this can be described as a romance, it is also a comedy and drama.

5. "The Philadelphia Story" (1940)

"When a rich woman's ex-husband and a tabloid-type reporter turn up just before her planned remarriage, she begins to learn the truth about herself" (IMDb). This movie not only stars Grant, but also Katherine Hepburn and James (Jimmy) Stewart - huge names! A romcom through and through, it is a great movie with a great cast.

6. "Arsenic and Old Lace" (1944)

"A drama critic learns on his wedding day that his beloved maiden aunts are homicidal maniacs, and that insanity runs in his family" (IMDb). Now if that synopsis doesn't pique your interest, I don't know what will. This is truly a comedy, crime, thriller if there ever was one.

7. "Charade" (1963)

"Romance and suspense ensue in Paris as a woman is pursued by several men who want a fortune her murdered husband had stolen. Who can she trust? " (IMDb). This time Grant stars opposite Audrey Hepburn, another strong female actor. This is a great film with a pretty good twist ending.

8. "To Catch a Thief" (1955)

"When a reformed jewel thief is suspected of returning to his former occupation, he must ferret out the real thief in order to prove his innocence" (IMDb). This is a classic Cary Grant movie, once again from Alfred Hitchcock. It also starred Grace Kelly before she became Princess of Monaco.

9. "Night and Day" (1946)

"The fictionalized biography of composer Cole Porter from his days at Yale in the 1910s through the height of his success to the 1940s " (IMDb). A film about the great Cole Porter, featuring his popular songs, with Cary Grant as the star.

10. "The Bishop's Wife" (1947)

"An angel in human form enters the life of a bishop in order to help him build a new cathedral and repair his fractured marriage" (IMDb). Grant plays a cheeky angel with good intentions in this charming film.

This list contains only 10 of the 76 films Cary Grant starred in. I have yet to see all of his movies, but these are just a few of my favorites. Although these movies are "old," they are just as good, if not better, than films today. I encourage you to give them a chance and explore films from all decades!

For more on Cary Grant, I suggest: "Cary Grant: A Biography" by Marc Eliot.

For more older movies, check to see if you get the TCM (Turner Classic Movies) channel or visit TCM.com.

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

1929

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

4. Scheduling your own doctor’s appointments

5. Getting your own toilet paper

6. Making food without needing to ask your mom questions

7. Holding your tongue

2. Never getting to be invisible

3. Knowing every single thing about every single person in the town

4. New kids are a big deal

5. It’s hard to make new friends

6. On that note ... the dating pool is even smaller!

7. Teachers are weirdly close to their students

8. It forced you to make friends out of school

No, I can't help you.

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.
