81. "North by Northwest"
This is the Hitchcock flick that has Cary Grant in a field with a plane trying to kill him. The one where he dives into corn. He's wearing a blue suit. The same one with the Mount Rushmore falls. You know it. Even if you've never seen it you know it.
It's great in a lot of ways. The story is surreal. The camera work heightens the suspense. The performances are legendary for good reason. It's hard to imagine any way to improve this film other than continuity shots.
When I'm watching a film with Cary Grant I don't care about the outcome. I just want to see the man talk fast with quick witted women. It helps if he's wearing a suit.
