He also made some fine movies during the '60s, including Move Over Darling -- a remake of My Favorite Wife in which he takes the Cary Grant role with Doris Day in the Irene Dunne role. OK, it isn't as good as the original, but it's fine light entertainment. As is The Thrill of It All (in which he and Day also play a married couple).

I always loved the goofiness of the Support Your Local Gunfighter/Sheriff movies. But his best films (IMO) are The Great Escape and Murphy's Romance. (I've yet to see The Americanization of Emily, so I can't attest to the quality of that film, but I've heard it's good.)

It is, Kathy. Garner and Julie Andrews have some great chemistry in that one.

He was also really good in the HBO movie Barbarians at the Gate, which was a semi-satircal look at the tobacco industry. And, hell, I even enjoy the movie Maverick(the TV show, it should go without saying, is a classic).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Murphy's Romance is a really wonderful movie. Nice to see a RomCom which is A. not set in a city, B. does not revolve around Wacky Misunderstandings, and C. where the protagonists have a little mileage on 'em.

Oh, yes. And Garner's turn in The Notebook. He broke my heart more than Ryan Gosling ever could.

wrod. WGN used to run "Rockford", but I'm not sure that they do now.

Sail,
Garner was the only thing good in The Notebook.
