1. North by Northwest!!

The movie without a plot, except to somehow get Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint from New York to hanging on the face of Mt. Rushmore.

An absolutely wonderful romp, with sufficient Hitchcockian twists to keep one sitting on the edge of ones seat.

The script crackles. My favorite of Hitch's 50's color films. It is just plain wonderful.
