I bet I've started to watch "North by Northwest" over a half-dozen times and never stayed awake for the ending - same way with "Vertigo."

My all-time fav, BTW, is "The Third Man" with Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles. "Laura" with the ever-so-hot Gene Tierney is right up there as well.

I've never been a Hitchcock fan. At college, they showed North by Northwest, and we all sat there and laughed our way through it.

BTW, Schumer didn't actually say "cinematography." According to a (liberal) friend of mine who heard the whole thing and e-mailed me because he knew I'd appreciate it, what Schumer actually said was "cinemaphotography."

Idiot.

Fell asleep during Dr. Zhivago and North By Northwest is my fourth favorite Hitchcock. But at least the man is thinking.

Vertigo is not only the best movie ever made, it is among the greatest works of art in human history.

I have spoken. Case closed.

"The Third Man" may be the most perfect picture in every category ... script, acting, cinematography, direction, soundtrack ... that has ever been made, IMHO. I'm glad to see another fan of it here.

My favorite Hitchcock (haven't seen them all) is "Shadow of a Doubt", also with Joseph Cotten.
