Hey, Doris! ;)
It's a funny little quiz -- with only two questions I found it scarily accurate. How do they do it? *lol*

[raputathebuta.livejournal.com]

We're twins!!! *giggle*

I want to watch Casablanca or Notorious. I loves me some Cary Grant.

I loves me some Cary Grant.
Me too! We really are like twins or something. lol

An Affair to Remember is my favourite of his but I also love The Philadelphia Story which, much to my delight, stars two other favourites - Jimmy Stewart and Katharine Hepburn! :)

I really need to update my DVD collection to include more of the classics. *sigh*
