But his titanic presence and legacy in American cinema make it obvious I'm missing something, or simply haven't seen him in anything I liked. Love Notorious and NXNW but don't like him in them. Can't stand His Girl Friday. I forget what else I've seen him in.

Cary grant has the best delivery of the word “oops” in all of cinema

film acting can be good but often its not this is true

After, say, 1950 there's a sense in which Cary Grant reached max Grantness, therefore he didn't need to 'act.' But cinema performance isn't acting in any traditional way either -- it's the projection of a persona or humors (anger, sadness, charm, etc) that the camera happens to catch. Lots of stage actors are awful onscreen because they have no concept of what cameras capture.

Early Grant: Holiday, one of the queerest of films; he's beautifully modulated.
Middle Grant: Notorious
Late Grant: Charade

bond movies are just generic well-made Hollywood action movies these days
if they are well-made then why are they so incredibly bad
Cary Grant is very very good at saying words in front of a movie camera and being entertaining, whether or not he can ever be found doing anything technically classifiable as "acting"

if flapster doesn't like His Girl Friday this might be an unturnable ship

Cary Grant is the best actor in the history of movies.
Gene Hackman and Ed Harris are my top two. Grant was an ideal movie star (not the same thing as actor) for his era, but his style wouldn't fly today.

now enjoying thinking of Grant replacing a prominent male actor in almost any new release I've seen this year, bar Leave No Trace

Hearts Beat Loud would certainly have been elevated by his presence, even if only in the Danson role

Grant swaggering around, mocking Tom Cruise, and leaping out of planes
Grant being semi-swindled to some teenagers' back-of-a-bar film festival, instead of Burt Reynolds

okay i'll admit that BlackGrantsman would actually be kind of amazing.... washington and driver struggling to precisely match their preposterous mid-atlantic affectations, creating a fictitous english actor named "cary grant" in order to infiltrate a well-concealed kkk cell in 1940s hollywood. topher grace as ronald reagan... it could work.
