*waves* Hi. I don't post or reply very often but this is a topic I can't resist. Lol. I second "Bringing Up Baby." If you liked "His Girl Friday" odds are you'll like "Bringing Up Baby" as well. It's got that same rapid fire, bantery dialogue and Cary Grant. 2 of my favorite things. :)

I'm a big noir fan so I also recommend "This Gun for Hire."

"Sullivan's Travels" and "The Thin Man" are non-noir favorites of mine.

From Wikipedia re "The Thin Man'- "The main characters are a former private detective, Nick Charles, and his clever young wife, Nora. Nick, son of a Greek immigrant, has given up his career since marrying Nora, a wealthy socialite, and he now spends most of his time cheerfully getting drunk in hotel rooms and speakeasies. Nick and Nora have no children, but they do own a schnauzer named Asta, changed to a wire haired fox terrier for the movies.
Charles is drawn, mostly against his will, into investigating a murder. The case brings them in contact with a rather grotesque family, the Wynants, and also with an assortment of policemen and lowlifers. As they attempt to solve the case, Nick and Nora share a great deal of banter and witty dialogue, along with copious amounts of alcohol."
