Some Like It Hot (1959)

When I was a child I watched this classic comedy several times with half of my family. I still have very pleasant memories about it.

Vertigo (1958)

This is maybe my favourite Hitchcock movie (others are Rear Window, The Birds and North by Northwest ). In this movie we have suspense and a touching love story. I enjoyed it very much.

Rear Window (1954) (1954)

I watched this Hitchcock classic several times as I was a child, and it's one of my favourite classic movies. Grace Kelly is so beautiful and the story exciting.

Sunset Boulevard (1950)

Nice story and good acting. I liked the overacting of Gloria Swanson, because that fits perfectly to her role as a faded star of the silent films era.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)

This movie made me a fan of Liz Taylor many years ago, she was such a beauty and good actress. The story is average but Liz Taylor and Paul Newman are the real highlights here. Burl Ives as Big Daddy gave also a good performance.
