do you have a link?

I like the Russian language. Its right there with French for me. I don't care for the other romance languages except Romanian.

Recorded North by Northwest last week on TCM and finally got to see it. Hitchcock magic at its best.

Some interesting stories and anecdotes surrounding the filming of the movie: 13 Monumental Facts About <em>North by Northwest</em>

Lots of sexual innuendo for 1959. Edward Platt of Get Smart fame plays a lawyer. Supporting characters include James Mason and Martin Landau.

What's really famous about this movie for those who haven't seen it, the crop dusting sequence.

As the TCM pundits termed it, it's one of the top 10 movie sequences of all time.

Russian is beautiful to listen to. Definitely agree. Which language is the worst to listen to?

Landau as one of the bad guys is interesting.

Rap.

Landau as one of the bad guys is interesting.

Landau could do comedy as well. He was hilarious as Bob Ryan in Entourage, one of the few highlights of that series.

I watched the first 3 episodes of Entourage last week and was struggling to get through.

It takes a serious commitment to wade through that series. The supporting cast is outstanding, but the 2 main characters, Vince and Eric, drag the quality down. For me it's worth watching but I understand those who can't bear to.

Ten years before, Cary Grant could have been the star of The Third Man, another classic, but he asked for too much money so the role went to Joseph Cotten. Nice to see him in a different type of role.

I enjoyed the later episodes more. I wanted to see those episodes I had missed. Eric in particular, is terrible. I don’t know how he was even cast in this.

Don't think I've ever seen a poor Hitchcock film,always entertaining,always looking for his ''cameo''
He often had Jimmy Stewart in roles and is actually a very funny person,has a lot of good lines. Grant also is a very nice guy,lots to like about him.

One of the more underrated is Frenzy! Love that film and his cameo is being a spectator when they pull up a body from the Thames. All British Shakespeare actors and many comedy moments like for instance when the main defective's wife is taking a French cooking class. He just wants the typical British pub fare (not very good apart from the shepherd's pies IMHO). To see he lack of enthusiasm when she presents him with a tiny bird with a fancy French name for dinner is priceless, great acting from both .

He also did a great Bela Lugosi in the Ed Wood film, or rather the film about Ed Wood.

Great movie. I love James Mason. Something about his voice and accent, I could listen to him talk for hours.

They should have all Hitchcock films on demand somewhere rather than getting them piecemeal on TCM, if you're lucky.

Just got around to watch Cobra Kai (easier since it's on netflix now) and I didn't expect to like it at all.....but hell, even if it's not worth any awards, it was surprisingly entertaining (especially if you liked the old Karate Kid movies).

It's a bit corny like the old movies, but yeah, it was entertaining.

They added interstellar on netlfix, second time for me, what a movie. Has to be the best Zimmer score

The Dark Knight

The Interstellar score BLOWS the dark knights out of the water what are you talking about ..

Which of the two is Nolans better film is the healthier debate
