The Best Films in History: Did Your Favorite Make the List?

The Philadelphia Story

Carey Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and Jimmy Stewart... What gets better than that? The Philadelphia Story follows a married couple who are struggling to stay together. It's regarded as one of the best films of all time due to its uber-realistic portrayals of love and marriage, which was hard to come by in Hollywood back then. It won the Academy Award for Best Writing in an Adapted Screenplay in 1940.
