Bringing Up Baby (1938)
Fantastic screwball comedy. Insane situations, slapstick, oddball characters...and a leopard to top everything off.
Cary Grant might overdo it a little in this one, but Katherine Hepburn is utterly perfect - especially impressive considering this is one of her very first comedic roles.
There's no question that it's a bit over-the-top, but this is a case where that's not a bad thing by any means. 100-odd minutes of non-stop laughter, and an undeniable classic of it's genre.
