North By Northwest



Top 100 (#40/55); Thrills (#4); Stars - Cary Grant (#2), Martin Landau (current); Top Ten - Mystery (#8)

There should be a law that says every dictionary should have Cary Grant's picture next to the word "suave".

Hitchcock's movie does everything right. It's got mystery, suspense, tension. And, of course, Cary Grant.

One question though: Why does the arrow on the movie poster point north by northeast?

because northwest isn't a direction, it's an airline.

and yes, if you say 'suave' the first thing i think is cary grant.
