I'm a theater major, who's thrown herself into the film world. I studied theater history, not film history. For that reason, I have taken it upon myself to study cinematic classics. For a few years now, I've been checking off selections from the AFI Top 100 Films of All Time. My recent selection was Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST. Click {here.} for the list. It's fascinating to see where all the original ideas for the thriller, suspense mystery genras came from. Hint: It wasn't The Bourne Identity. This classic has it all; a buxom blond, a handsome leading male, pyrotechnics, an airplane chase, a national monument, and microfiche....naturally. Put this thriller on the top of your queue, and vary your cinematic pallet with the classics!
