Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, William Powell, John Wayne, and Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby are all pretty easy on the eyes.

And yes to The Thin Man! I actually discovered Powell recently, and I adore him. I love Myrna too. Together, whether they're Nick & Nora or some other enviable married couple, I call them my mom and dad. Bringing Up Baby is just perfect. Susan Vance is the reason I want to be a screwball comedy heroine.

Toto, my Cafe collaborator, had both BRINGING UP BABY and WHITE CHRISTMAS in her top ten en route to her final five. I'm a huge fan of those films, too. My favorite number in WHITE CHRISTMAS has to be Danny and Vera-Ellen in "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing." I like your post-70s picks, too, especially ROCKY and MOONSTRUCK (which gets better every time I watch it). Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
