North By Northwest

Alfred Hitchcock anyone? I'm about to watch this.

And that takes care of that!

Let's see...wow! That was a great movie. It may be from the 1950s and all the old cars and old technology makes it pretty obvious that it's not a modern film, but who cares? The story was outstanding and the effects, visuals, etc. seemed pretty good. The movie was in color and it wasn't that weird looking color that looks 100 years old. I don't know if it was remastered or what, but the picture quality was outstanding.

As for the movie itself, I don't know what, if any, moral implications or themes this movie contained, but who cares? The story was excellent. This is the first Hitchcock film I've seen and if this is any indication of what type of director he is I want to see more...lots more. Speaking of Hitchcock, I saw his cameo in the first several minutes of the movie

Cary Grant did an excellent job as did Eva Marie Saint (who is, as of today, not dead).

Looking over wikipedia, the film addresses several themes, namely deception, mistaken identity, and moral relativism in the Cold War era.

This is a most excellent film and is much better than Soylent Green

93.5/100

UP NEXT: The Maltese Falcon (1941)

It was classic Hitch all the way!

An all time great - 94/100

It's been a while since I've seen it, but about a 93, 94 sounds right.

So 93.5 then?
