North by Northwest (1959): A literal cliffhanger with multiple innuendos. If one is wondering why I'm on a Hitchcock blogging kick, 'tis due to a class I'm currently taking: Major Film Directors with Dr. Hoskins. Hitchcock is so - unique, odd, just plain weird - but it's what makes his films what they are. At first view, one of his films can be seen as a classic crime/mystery/drama/romcom. But after the credits roll, the viewer begins to understand the depth and complexity Hitchcock infiltrates into the film. What a clever fella.
