North By Northwest (1959)


Simply fantastic. For its time or really any. The humor in this movie reaches all generations. Although I expected a lot of things that happened throughout the film there was an air of confusion and excitement that gripped me the whole time. I also got to see it in the Castro theater which is always entertaining. As a friend put it, all the actors have a sort of dreamy look on their face like this is all happening to them out of complete coincidence. The fact that they are involved in such scandalous events is really no big deal at all. Great acting by Cary Grant and directing by the infamous Alfred Hitchcock.
