They don't make 'em like this anymore!

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2005)

I really enjoyed "North by Northwest", it had action, romance, and drama. I mean, seriously, as you have noticed in 2005, Hollywood has come out with a string of remakes. Because all of the awesome ideas have been taken pretty much, and when I saw this film, it put me back into the appreciation of the real good movies of the past. Alfred Hitchcock is without a doubt one of the greatest directors of the 20th century. I hope his work will never die within the years because of all these remakes, I'm afraid that when I have a family one day and if my kids have a love for films as I do, they won't get to witness how great movies were made. The acting, yes, it's clique, but it works so well. It has a "Casablanca" type of feel for the romance. The action had some wit and humor to it. The story is great, I would highly recommend this classic and please recommend it to other's before Hollywood destroys all great movies.
