I have always been a big Alfred Hitchcock fan and "North by Northwest" was in my view his most entertaining and important film. It certainly rates a high position in my "Top Ten" films list!! This is a fast moving witty thriller that never lets up in its 130 minutes running time. The film is in beautiful Technicolor and Cary Grant gives the performance of a lifetime as Roger O. Thornhill being mis... read more

Hitchcock's most action-packed film!

Wow! What an intense action-packed thrill ride this film turned out to be. It is a really fun adventure that takes you cross-country and finding different ways to survive. I just love cat-and-mouse aka films involving fugitives and hostages because they are really suspensful and they are always packed with entertainment. I loved pretty much everything about North By Northwest. It is an absolute ma... read more

"6.3. 2024 "North by Northwest" is definitely one of Hitchcock's most entertaining films, but it is also secretly one of his most complicated films. The pacing in the film is perfect and slick as quicksilver: every scene is relevant, and every line of dialogue move the plot forwards, and when Hitchcock lets his characters relax a little bit, he reveals small and interesting details about them. Once again a hero is falsely accused in a Hitchcock film: an unsuspecting advertising executive Roger "

My Top 10 Favourite Hitchcock Movies (10 movies items)

"It's about an innocent man who's being chased all across the country by both the police who think he's a terrorist, and actual terrorists who think he's a government agent. The plot gets much more complicated than that, but it's still easy to follow. The movie can be enjoyed for its individual set pieces โ€“ including the famous crop duster sequence and the climax atop Mount Rushmore โ€“ but overall it's both a hilarious comedy and a suspenseful thriller rolled into one. Hitchcock made a lot of "
