Mysterious organizations, staged car crashes, well-dressed men, and a framed Cary Grant: It’s a Hitchcock film so overwhelmingly Hitchcockian some have called it a self-parody. Suave suits with bad intentions (and Cary Grant) run through a narrative maze of government information and espionage that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. One of Hitchcock’s most commercially and culturally successful films, North by Northwest won all the awards, it’s on all the lists, so if you call yourself a movie buff you should probably see this film. At the Paramount, no less! – Caroline Drew
