The Second Greatest 15 Movie Performances of All Time

CARY GRANT (ARSENIC AND OLD LACE) (1944)

The one and only Cary Grant is widely known for his cool elegance and romantic charm in front of the camera but he is that rare actor that can play comedy just as well. He especially excelled in crazy absurd comedic films (referred to as screwball comedies) and this is one of his best. The plot revolves around his two elderly sweet aunts who are serving poisoned wine to lonely old men and then burying them in the cellar figuring that they are doing them a favor. When Grant finds out that a little insanity runs in his family, he spends the whole film protecting his dear aunts from the law, and at the same time, providing hilarious laughter to the audience.
