Bringing Up Baby - Howard Hawks (1938)

I knew nothing about this movie. The first hint was the picture of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn on the DVD....and a picture of a leopard. What?!?!

Apparently this is considered the best example of a 'screwball comedy'. It's a situation that is so completely and utterly unreal, that it makes it funny. And this movie was actually pretty hilarious. There were a few times...well, more than a few...that I was laughing out loud. 

I'm not 100% why this is on the list though. 

One word to describe 'Bringing Up Baby': Wacky.
