5 Cary Grant Films Perfect For Any Evening: Britt's Film Corner

Cary Grant, a name almost synonymous with classic film, has a grand library of work from his life, diving both into romantic comedies and thrillers. There are plenty of movies of his that could be considered worth watching over others, such as North by Northwest or To Catch a Thief (with plenty more similar films included). But what I've found is an appreciation for some specific films of Grant's that fill me with memories of watching them with my partner or being introduced to them by family who loved them before I came into the world. So, below are five Grant films that I continue to refer back to with a huge amount of love and admiration. They continue to become classic films that I find myself watching on a calm evening with some sort of favorite drink (typically a warm one), ready to dive into an otherworldly nostalgia and peace.
