11. Bringing Up Baby (1938)

Photobucket

Now it isn't that I don't like you, Susan, because, after all, in moments of quiet, I'm strangely drawn toward you, but - well, there haven't been any quiet moments.

I made it through 10 daily posts without a late post... This one should post about a half hour late... Oh well.

This movie is really fun. Katherine Hepburn is absolutely divine and Cary Grant plays perfectly as her straight man. The story follows mild mannered, happily engaged paleontologist Dr. David Huxley (Grant) as he recieves and then loses a very important fossil. In his search, he is ambushed by super cool, leopard owning, golf playing Susan Vance (Hepburn). They continue on their trek as she continues to supposedly ruin his career until, finally, he realizes that maybe she is all that he is looking for in life anyway.

Maybe it's just for me, but Katherine Hepburn's character in this movie is one of the sexiest in ANY movie I have ever seen.
