north by northwest (hitchcock, 1959)

probably the best mount rushmore chase scene i've seen since 1994's live action richie rich, north by northwest is the second on this list presumed negatively effected by air travel (butch cassidy being the first). viewed because of this in three parts, the movie lost a bit of it's punch for me but still was a fantastic and fun film. more and more i am realizing hitchcock's true brilliance; all of his premises are unbelievably creative and cinematic and flawlessly executed.

classics scale: 6/10
