Charade is one of my favorite movies. Hepburn and Grant in Paris with three future Best Supporting Actor winners (Matthau, Kennedy, Coburn), Peter Stone's Edgar Award-winning script and Stanley Donen directing (and a Henry Mancini score) and how could you lose?
Still one of my all-time movie titles sequence, Henry Mancini theme song, and film (just don't get me started on that horrid 2002 remake with Marky Mark).

One of my favorites.

My wife adores this one. I remember watching in college with her when we'd just started dating. Good memories.
