Bringing Up Baby comes in at 97 on the AFI list. Made in 1938, the same year that gave us Boys Town and not much else I've ever heard of. Maybe they were saving up for 1939.
Actors you'll recognize: Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant. Actors you may recognize but not know: Doubtfully any.
There's a problem with Bringing Up Baby, and it's not a problem with Bringing Up Baby. Regular guy is getting ready to marry nice but boring and hard-to-like woman. Day before, ball of fire different girl crashes into his life and turns everything upside-down. It's good. It's funny. Hepburn and Grant are great. I just felt like I've seen it over and over and over already. For all I know, this was the first "romantic comedy" ever made, so it's not this movie's fault that it's been copied relentlessly. No reason to go out of your way to see it, unless you're trying to see all of Hepburn or Grant's movies.
