What's your favorite Hepburn/Tracy movie?
Adam's Rib and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Gris, I think Salim wanted to die in the bathtub of money so that there would be blood all over it, making it literally "blood money." And poetry or something.
Maybe "Woman of The Year" just to be different.
Woman of the Year has too many watch from the hall moments for me.
I guess it's been a while since I've seen it. Guess Who is great too...I love Sidney Poitier.
I just couldn't get past the fact that the questions were asked in chronological order to his life story. I know they said up front that the whole thing was about destiny and blah blah blah, but I just could not reconcile myself to how utterly stupid the framing device was. I did love the soundtrack, though.
ION, I finally caught up with Iron Man on DVD and thought it was great fun. And now I would like a snarky British AI valet who builds robots for me. They have those on Amazon, right?
Jessica, that definitely required you to just Go with It, but I loved the framing device enough to let it go.

I don't really like their movies together. He always has a scene where he takes her down a peg for being so uppity and feminist.
Even in Desk Set? I haven't seen it in a while, but I don't remember that.

I have no vivid memories of him hauling her across his lap to give her a spanking in that movie. Though the premise that Kate's brain is a better reference tool than a computer sort of skips past the notion that she's exceptional and if she gets a cold then the system goes down.
I've never seen Desk Set. I keep thinking, "this desk set wants to fly"
