    @bernard brought up North by Northwest in @steve-miller 's travel thread; the last part of the movie is set on Mt Rushmore.

    Mt Rushmore.... makes a great movie set!

    Spoiler alert for anyone who never saw North by Northwest (I doubt there's anyone who has never seen it).

    And later...

    I highly recommend it. 5 stars. One of Hitchcock's best.

    Got me thinking about which of Hitch's movies are my faves. To Catch a Thief is definitely number 1 on my list, followed by Notorious.

    What is/are your favorite(s)?

      I think I have only seen The Birds and Psycho. I really enjoyed The Birds!

        I don't have one. I don't like horror movies. Mysteries are good.

        I've seen The Birds. No impression on me, although yesterday I did walk into plate glass and gently hit my head like a bird. 🐦 Gave me a good laugh.

        I don't need to see Psycho twice.

          I love so many of them, can't pick a favorite.

          The Lady Vanishes
          The 39 Steps
          The Man Who Knew Too Much
          Sabotage
          Notorious

          And more. I especially love the black and white films, so much atmosphere is created in B&W.

          Rope is a special movie because it was filmed in one take. Due to the time limitations of a single reel of film, whenever they had to switch reels, the camera would zoom in to the back of someone which would create the opportunity for a break. With a new roll of film in the camera, it would zoom back out. From the viewer's perspective it's all seamless. But it's a bit macabre of a movie.

          The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

            I'm going on a massive Bette Davis binge speaking of black and white.

            I might even follow the films in chronological order.

            With many exceptions made I'm sure.

            I'm not 20.

            Lol.

              @Daniel I love Bette Davis! "Buckle your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" All About Eve is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.

              Give me black and white any day.

                A lot of Hitchcock's films are thriller/suspense rather than horror.

                  @bernard Thanks. I truncated that to "mysteries". Lol

                    I may have to watch some of them again to determine a favorite.
