This was an old classic, Netflix has been trying to get me to see it forever but lately I’ve been put off older movies because of the lower production values and often weaker writing and acting.  North by Northwest though shattered my expectations, it was a very wonderful film that was well written and executed.  To summarize the plot briefly it’s about a “normal guy” who is mistaken for a spy and is drawn into a world of intrigue and suspense.  If you haven’t seen it yet (I think I was perhaps the last person on the planet to see it), check it out.
