mvie mu-1015253: One of Hitchcock's Finest Movies

Thu, 5 Mar 2009 18:30:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andaryl - The 1950’s were certainly a golden era for Alfred Hitchcock. Over the course of that decade he shot what many consider to be his greatest movies: Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho (1960) and North by Northwest. Not enough? Well he also had Strangers on...

mvie mu-1015253: Almost perfect Hitchcock

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:39:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dolphinboy - Who is George Kaplan? Well, he is not Roger Thornhill, an advertising executive from New York City, played perfectly by Cary Grant, but the bad guys (James Mason and Martin Landau) become, due to a weird incident involving misunderstandings, thoroughly...

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 02:51:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author st_patrick - If there was ever a film that keeps me glued to my seat while bringing a grin to my face, it's Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest". Coming at the tail end of one of the Master's most productive decades, the film combines all the best elements of...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author carstairs38 - Advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) leads a boring life. The highlight of his week is the play he will be attending with his mother. But when he pops into his club for a quick drink before the show, he is kidnapped. When he arrives at...

mvie mu-1015253: I Like Your Flavor: North by Northwest

Thu, 5 Jul 2007 07:05:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author George_Chabot - North by Northwest (1959) "War is hell, Mr Thornhill, even if it's a cold one." North by Northwest seems to be the movie where all Hitchcock's powers as a filmmaker came together. It takes a case of mistaken identity and plays it...

mvie mu-1015253: Another Winner From The Classic Film Collection

Sat, 9 Dec 2006 11:18:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wlswarts - Those who read my reviews tend to know that I'm not a fan of many old movies. If it's in black and white, odds are I didn't enjoy it (notable exception being "Casablanca"). Usually, it's the writing, if it's a comedy, I'm not much of a fan of...

mvie mu-1015253: Watch Out For Low-Flying Planes

Sun, 20 Aug 2006 12:16:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - I have this list (or at least a general sense) of movies that I should see at some point in my life. I had wanted to see this movie for several reasons. First, there’s that famous crop-duster scene. Second, I figure that I should see at least one Cary...

mvie mu-1015253: The Moose Hole - So horribly sad. How is it I feel like laughing?

Thu, 27 Apr 2006 22:23:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mickeymoose15 - Starting with a pale-green Leo the Lion (the trademark of MGM), Saul Bass creates a vibrant title sequence, seamlessly transitioning from an animated crisscrossing of animated black lines to a real-life skyscraper reflecting the bustling traffic of New...

mvie mu-1015253: North by Northwest - Cary Grant Shines in one of Hitchcock's Best Thrillers

Wed, 8 Feb 2006 00:45:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dragonfire88 - Alfred Hitchcock created some of the most suspenseful movies ever made during his career as a director. I've seen and enjoyed many of his movies. Over the last few years I have added several of his movies to my DVD collection. North by...

Sun, 15 Feb 2004 11:30:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author munkus - Continuing my quest in the movies-I-oughta-seen-by-now saga I recently settled in front of TCM to watch the classic North by Northwest directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Cary Grant. It's one of the classic tales of mistaken identity, with...

mvie mu-1015253: "And I don't want to disappoint them all by getting myself slightly killed!"

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 12:40:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flamepillar - It was the Hitchcock movie to end all Hitchcock movies, or so I heard. But Hitchcock would actually go on to make nine more movies between this and the last film of his career in 1976 (incidentally, when I was born). Still, coming from a guy who has...

Mon, 9 Jun 2003 18:18:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SKAD13 - Great entertainment and cinematic art happen so rarely in the movies that we're usually grateful to get just one or the other. But after over thirty years in the business, director Alfred Hitchcock seamlessly combined both, in a little number called...

Tue, 15 Oct 2002 06:55:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cripper - The 1950s was a mixture of successes and failures for Alfred Hitchcock. Most of his successes are classic thriller films such as Rear Window, Vertigo and Strangers on a Train. Hitchcock did have some failures such as I...

mvie mu-1015253: Someone did some work

Sun, 25 Aug 2002 13:17:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tortugap - This is really more a commentary on the quality of the DVD rather than of the film itself, however one cannot easily divorce the two.

One of the best films ever made by Alfred Hitchcock without a doubt. Ok, there...

mvie mu-1015253: To Catch A Spy.

Fri, 12 Jul 2002 03:15:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KidFlash25 - After seeing To Catch A Thief and Charade over the last year, I became very interested in obtaining a copy of North by Northwest for two reasons. One, because I'd enjoyed the quippy wit of Cary Grant. And two, I'd also become a fan of Alfred Hitchcock's...

mvie mu-1015253: Cary Grant and Hitchcock go in a Northwesterly Direction

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 09:16:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dancingpotato - The Simpsons has taken such a large place in pop culture that it literally pushed out some of the other stuff. I mean, they frequently parody movies, TV shows, books and generally everything about the media. The problem is, a lot of Simpsons viewers are...

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 11:21:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dabo - Wow. I just saw this movie for the first time last night -- another good choice on my Netflix rental list!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Grouch - A man stands alone at a deserted crossroads in the middle of a prairie. A crop-dusting plane drones in the background, spraying the air on the horizon. The sun beats down mercilessly. The man, dressed in a charcoal-gray suit, is nervously awaiting a...

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 22:20:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ChrisJarmick - The quintessential Hitchcock film, is not as dark and obsessive as other Hitchcock masterpieces but is a brilliant paranoid's fantasy which eclipses the ideas of 39th Steps, The Wrong Man and Saboteur into a breezy sexy suspenseful stew of Hitch tics,...

mvie mu-1015253: No Suspicion About It

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 02:37:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pach1908 - Even its languid scenes crackle with vibrant wit and supreme tension. I've seen this movie probably 5 times or more (and I saw it this time THE RIGHT WAY -- wide screen, plush seats, dollar concessions at the ***** Normal Theater) and I get even more...

mvie mu-1015253: What happens if Lincoln sneezes?

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 02:35:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - Yes, that's right. As might be expected, this is one of my favorite movies, and definitely one (if not THE one) of my favorite Hitchcock films. Alfred succeeds in capturing your interest from the instant the opening credits appear.

Sun, 10 Sep 2000 20:30:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kinka - Although a filmmaker myself, I’m not a big fan of old movies….maybe it’s the helpless woman who appears only a few times in the movie. But, I felt it my duty to watch the just released special edition of “North by Northwest” just for curiosity’s...

Thu, 31 Aug 2000 17:37:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - They don't make movies like this anymore. Imagination and suspense, humor and intrigue, creating mystery in every day life; these are the unique gifts that an Alfred Hitchcock thriller brought to audiences. In addition, we lived in paranoid times. All...

Thu, 31 Aug 2000 16:11:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thornhill - Alfred Hitchcock’s “North By Northwest” is simply one of the finest American films ever made. It is a great example of the skill and mastery that Hitchcock exhibited throughout his career. If you think back, there are few directors that have had as much...
