Great again and again

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2000)

Saw the movie again (for approximately the 20th time) at the Film Forum in NYC this weekend, and what can I say? The negative was "restored" and looked, I guess, better than ever, but frankly, this movie would be great no matter how bad the negative was. It's an incredible achievement which works in spades no matter how many times you've seen it. It's Hitchcock's best, and one of the very best movies of all time--if not the best. I keep switching it from #1 to #2 and back again on my own all-time best list. Numbers don't matter. The movie is great, great, great. Can't wait to see it again! (The DVD should be fantastic.)
