1. Love "North by Northwest"

It's a movie with no plot other than to get Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint to the climax, so to speak. The cast is great and Hitchcock delivers a gem.

Standout supporting roles. Martin Landau and Jessie Royce Landis (as Thornhill's mother).

I have the DVD and watch it on occasion.

2. Me, too.
