Oh,the many reasons I love it.

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2012)

I love Rear Window for many reasons.I am already biased to the work of both Jimmy Stewart and Alfred Hitchcock.Jimmy Stewart was simply one of the best actors to grace Hollywood,and to see him under the direction of the ultimate master of suspense is awesome.I love it for Grace Kelly.Her beauty was mesmerizing and Hitchcock's use of it in this film leaves a guy falling in love.To me,a film doesn't need to be blatantly sexual.Undertones are good enough for me,and with Grace Kelly,I come away from this film feeling much the same way as many men do after they have watched the actresses of today going over the top sexually.I love the fact that the film did not have to go far geographically.We never left Jimmy Stewart's apartment.Our view was pretty much his view throughout.To top it off,the film includes the single best moment of suspense ever,in my book.That moment when Raymond Burr's character discovers what Stewart,Kelly,and company are up to,slowly looking upward in Stewart's (and our) direction! Simply Chilling. Ultimate suspense classic.
