The Master's Best

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2000)

What more can be said of the original "Rear Window"? It is without a doubt Hitchcock's best, even better than "Psycho".
Younger viewers (younger viewers? Hell, I'm only 29!), who have been raised on pablum like "Mission Impossible 2" and "The Matrix" may think that this is movie is too boring to be a thriller. Look again. There's an actual PLOT! There are actual CHARACTERS! This movie wasn't focus-grouped and the characters aren't cardboard cutouts. And there has yet to be a better close-up in all of movie history than that of Grace Kelly moving in for The Kiss.
Outstanding. 10 out of 10.
