Great movie, but not Hitchcock.
Don’t forget The Lady Vanishes and The Lodger. Also, The Wrong Man and I Confess.
Where’s Rebecca?
My all time favorite movie is “The Best years of Our Lives.”
Tears well up every time I see it.
Strangers on a Train is the creepiest.
What? No lifeboat?
There is a “Bates Motel” in Vale Oregon. I think of that shower sceen every time I drive by.
Saw North by Northwest many years ago. Entertaining and suspenseful, but thought the crop duster crashing into the stopped fuel truck was, as Jed Clampett would say: “pathetic, jeeesst pathetic”. It’s like the writer and/or the director didn’t have good idea about how to end that scene.

Yup. Roger Thornhill in “North By Northwest” was James Bond. He just didn’t know it! The Bond filmmakers have said “North By Northwest” influenced them a great deal. I think it virtually invented the modern action-adventure genre. What a truly fantastic movie, that still holds up extremely well today.

I’ll be darned———bet it’s pretty popular.

No doubt about it...a foreign accented villain, a sexy woman who works with the villain whom he seduces, totally inadvisable risky adventure by the hero, car chases, hero likes to drink etc etc..all future 007 traits.
All Bond movies with Sean Connery are my favorites, especially Gold Finger & Never say Never Again.
Big Connery Bond fan here, too, though I think “Spectre” ranks up there with the best. A new classic in the traditional mode.
And just for fun, watch “High Anxiety.”
What!?! No Lifeboat!

They forgot “Frenzy,” which is a good late Hitchcock pic.
