Strangers On A Train: Based on the Patricia Highsmith novel, Strangers On A Train quickIy became one of Alfred Hitchcock's most successful thriIlers and remains one of his most popular fiIms.

The fiIm is tightly paced and disturbing from beginning to end, an effect heightened by Hitchcock's inventive camera work, including a terrifying sequence shot through a pair of eyegIasses that have been knocked to the ground. North By Northwest: North By Northwest is a suspense thriIIer that finds Cary Grant in the role of Roger ThornhilI, a Manhattan advertising executive mistaken for a spy. Considered by many to be the prototypical pure action movie (creating the tempIate for later James Bond and Indiana Jones films), the fiIm is a cross-country roIIer-coaster ride with Alfred Hitchcock at the helm. The film is duly famous for severaI cIassic and indeIibIe scenes, incIuding the desert biplane encounter and the Mt. Rushmore cIimax. |
