Perfect combination of humor, style and suspense.

Having seen over ninety of AFI’s 1998 top 100, I still pick North by Northwest as my favorite for its perfect combination of humor, style and suspense. Film scholars and historians take it seriously, but it never takes itself too seriously. Hitchcock made other great films that also demonstrated his mastery of the medium, but the style and humor in this film make it my favorite.
