Hey Flick fanatics, here is a video exploring my favourite film from Alfred Hitchcock, North By Northwest,

Enjoy!

Roger Thornhill is definitely one of my favorite characters in cinema. He’s cool, calm, thinks a few steps ahead even though he’s confused half the time. And like you said, very Bond-like.

We just watched North by NorthWest last week (for the first time). Thoroughly enjoyed it. It was suspenseful, exciting, enigmatic, beautiful and Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint are very watchable

Vertigo and North by Northwest are both absolute legends!

The sublime Eva Marie Saint will be 100 on July 4th, 2024. Her talent and appeal is timeless.

When I was about 13 years old, our teacher showed us this movie at school in our class. This was way back around 1969. Because I was young I didn't appreciate how good it was and I didn't realize how the teacher was really trying to expose us kids to something really sharp and intelligent. Thank you, teacher, for your efforts.. this movie is truely one of the greats.

Well said! My sentiments as well :) Truly the greatest of the Bond-Spy-Mystery-Hero films ever made!

North By Northwest was the first Hitchcock film I saw after watching some Alfred Hitchcock Presents. But what I also enjoy about Hitchcock is how he takes part of promotions himself which I think shows how much he loves his own films.

North By Northwest is the first Hitchcock movie I saw and loved it

Vertigo IS a masterpiece but I loved every single second of north by northwest.

I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself “slightly” killed

We have been forever blessed that there was a Hitchcock that gave us incredible films.

This is my favorite Hitchcock film and I'm so glad someone else FINALLY

Great review, I’ve seen this movie over 40 times, and it’s still one of the best movies of all time, and the crop duster scene is outstanding.

What a wonderful synopsis of the joys of NxNW as well as an excellent comparison with the other films in his catalog. Fabulous job Flick Fanatics. It's people like you that gives me a good sense that the merits of classic cinema will live on forever. Thank you.

I have watched North by Northwest several times through the years. It’s been said over and over no such direction exists on a compass. I’m again watching it now and when Roger T. Is flying from O’Hare to Rapid City, why he’s flying out Northwest Airlines. Get it. He’s going North by Northwest Airlines. I’m pretty slow at times.

I had the pleasure of watching the 65th anniversary showing of North by Northwest in the theater tonight and it was sensational.

Good video well done just watched the film myself really enjoyed it

Thanks for this intelligent, thoughtful review of one of my favorite Hitchcock films. "Notorious" is probably my favorite, partly because I've always thought Ingrid Bergman was brilliant, and dazzlingly beautiful. There's a great documentary about her, entitled "Ingrid Bergman in Her Own Words."

Thank you! This is also my favorite Hitchcock film, and I've seen about 35 of them. It's the most re-watchable and most playful and exciting. The score is epic. The leads are perfect. It's like he took the blueprint for The 39 Steps and Saboteur and took it to the next next level. It just fires on all cylinders. (Psycho is also my 2nd favorite and Vertigo would be 3rd, even though I understand people who say Vertigo is the best film of all time.)

Epic classic.. Cary was a titan of class.
