Watch Cary Grant's Movies in Chronological Order

This meaningless goal will be hard to achieve, since most of Cary’s early films aren’t available to rent…on VHS or DVD. This is going to take some time.

Watching Cary’s movies in chronological order isn’t going to change who I am, or make the world a better place, but I still want to do it. I love Cary Grant and I’ve read his biographies and watched many, many of his movies. But I never really took the time to watch him evolve as an actor. Now, not all of his movies are available on VHS or DVD, but I’m going to do my best.
