The great Cary Grant was born 120 years ago today.
In honor of Cary Grant’s legendary career and screen charm, today’s scene that I love comes from one of my favorite Cary Grant movies. This is also one of my favorite Ingrid Bergman films and one of my favorite Alfred Hitchock films and even one of my favorite Claude Rains films. 1946’s Notorious is a favorite all-around!
4 Or More Shots From 4 Or More Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

You won’t find a more glamorous pair of spies than Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in Alfred Hitchcock’s NOTORIOUS… except maybe in other films that feature Cary Grant as a spy!

For today’s musical sequence of the day (which is a temporary feature that I’m doing until Val’s internet is working again and she can return to doing her music videos of the day), we have the “Notorious” scene from 2001’s Donnie Darko.
In this scene, Sparkle Motion performs onstage while, miles away, Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) burns down the house of creepy motivational speaker, Jim Cunningham (Patrick Swayze). Playing throughout this scene: Duran Duran’s “Notorious.”
Why does Drew Barrymore hate Sparkle Motion?
This is the second scene from Donnie Darko to have been featured in this series. Check out the “Head Over Heels” scene here.
(And yes, one reason why I love this scene is because I very much related to it. Sparkle Motion is perhaps the most realistic part of Donnie Darko…)
