I also saw "The Lady Eve", which lots of people here love, and found it kind of watch-from-the-hall.
The Lady Eve is one of my least favorite screwballs. Of course, I also find Bringing Up Baby terribly annoying.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I regret to inform you that you are all freaky alien people whose brains are filled with wrongness.

Ten screwballs better than
The Lady Eve
or
Bringing Up Baby
(IMO):
His Girl Friday
The Awful Truth
It Happened One Night
The Thin Man
My Man Godfrey
Palm Beach Story
The Shop Around the Corner
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
My Favorite Wife
If You Could Only Cook
Haven't seen them in awhile, but maybe also these:
Twentieth Century
Nothing Sacred
Trouble in Paradise
Holiday

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Holiday has the same thing going for it that Bringing up Baby does: Hepburn and Grant. My OTC.

I love Hepburn, I just find her character in Bringing Up Baby annoying in the extreme.

Our wings are not tired.
Actually, I do too, megan. But Cary Grant and Baby make it up to me.

Sorry, JZ. The Lady Eve made me twitch and want to throw things.
It's no Nothing Sacred.
I do love Bringing Up Baby, though, so we can meet in the middle.
