#55 North by Northwest

1959
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint

Absolutely loved this movie.  I think I've seen bits and pieces before, but never all the way through.  Hitchcock has such a style all his own, right down to the lightness around actresses eyes.  Cary Grant is always perfect, his timing is amazing, and his subtle comedy doesn't go unnoticed.  Martin Landau was also amazing in his role- played a great bad guy!
This was the first of  a couple Hitchcock movies on the list, and I can't wait for the rest!

Up Next: MASH

#56 Jaws

1975
Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, 

Another movie I hadn't seen in years... and it still holds up as a great movie, scary, suspenseful, funny... it has everything!  I have nothing bad to say about this movie, and I think it's been one of my favorites on the list so far!


Trivia: After the shark was built, it was never tested in the water, and when it was put in the water at Martha's Vineyard, it sank straight to the ocean floor. It took a team of divers to retrieve it.

#57 Rocky

1976
Director: John G. Avildsen
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith

What a great movie to watch around the 4th of July (I watched on the 5th, but close enough!) I hadn't seen this movie since I was a kid, and I think I liked it and appreciated it much more as an old(er) person!  I had no idea that Stallone wrote this.  I really liked him in this movie, he was so natural in this role!

Trivia: The movie was shot in 28 days!
