Man this was unadulterated kino. Instantly one of my favorite movies of all time. Eva Marie Saint was a certified babe.

Any other Eva and/or Cary Grant movies /tv/ recommends?

>>213572807 (OP)
this is what a corn field looks like

>>213572807 (OP)
try rear window now

>>213572807 (OP)
Fun fact, Eva Marie Saint is still alive. She's 101 years young.

Fucking love this movie. Best non-Bond Bond movie. Bought it on Blu-ray and it looks fantastic

I had no idea it was a action but I gotta watch it

>>213572824
mmmMMMMmmmmm

>>213572807 (OP)
ending sucked ass though. way too abrupt.

It's depressing that I've grown old and aware enough to know that no matter what I do I will never be this cool

>>213572807 (OP)
Absolute cinema.

36 Hours is an underrated Eva Marie Saint kino. Also James Garner and Rod Taylor.

>>213573165
literally me

>>213573165
me, before getting b& on iracing after 3 domestics

She's absolutely gorgeous.

>>213573204
This but Microsoft Flight Simulator.

>>213573280
Her character was such a slut in this movie

so many kino scenes

>Tell me, what do you do besides lure men to their doom on the Twentieth Century Limited?

>>213573470
This is no good, we're on top of the monument!

>>213573467
this whole movie is screencapable

Charade with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn is another fun spy-like movie. A bit more lighthearted than North by Northwest, but lots of charm.

>>213573503
Hitchcock's masterpiece in my opinion

The art of lighting is really lost on modern film making. Probably all the jeetcgi slop that's used to fill scenes, but even 10-20 years ago when CGI was good it couldn't replicate. Roger Deakins is probably the last of the dinosaurs, and even his movies that are just okay like Skyfall are fun to watch because of how he uses light on film. Anymore I've almost got to the point where I want a film to be beautiful before I want it to be well written. Dunno what that makes me.

>Well one thing we know, you're no fake, you're a genuine idiot!

>thank you

Cary Grant is the coolest actor in the history of Hollywood.

>>213573871
He does have very large hands.

>>213572807 (OP)
>Cary Grant movies
His other Hitchcock kinos of course.

>>213572807 (OP)
For Eva, NxNW is the most babealicious she ever appeared on film. She's a major acting talent though, check out On the Waterfront if you haven't already seen it. For Cary, Notorious is a must see. Charade was made after NxNW and is serious but much lighter at the same time. Of course if you haven't seen Cary's comedies you need to do so immediately. Last but not least, NxNW is widely considered a remake of Hitch's 1935 film The 39 Steps (pic), which I rewatch at least once a year.

>>213572879
did she ever do like the other Hitch actresses desperate for attention and throw him under the bus?

>>213572807 (OP)
Another Hitch/Grant kino featuring my lovely wife Ingrid Bergman

>>213575293
I prefer The 39 Steps, but NxNW must look amazing in a theater. The Lady Vanishes is such a great ensemble drama, I can't believe it hasn't been remade since the late 1970's or so.

>>213576301
is there a Joan Fontaine in Rebecca grid?

>>213576419
If there is I dont have it

>>213572879
Kim Novak from Vertigo is still alive too. She’s 92. However, do not look up what she looks like today.

>>213573709
>Dunno what that makes me.
A lover of film.

>>213576484
Kim Novak in Bell, Book and Candle is straight up ethereal desu, personally my pick if we’re talking about her best looks. I don’t even remember the movie title sometimes, I just type Kim Novak witch movie cuz it lives in my head rent free. They really don’t make them like they used to, however, I still occasionally wish for a gen-Z Greta Garbo to spawn.

>>213576714
Kim is incredibly sexy as a witch, totally agree. Fun movie too. Have you seen Pushover, anon? Her debut, as a femme fatale in a decent noir. Her first scenes are ridiculously sexy.

>>213572807 (OP)
most of the cary grant is at least watchable

>>213572807 (OP)
>Cary Grant

Anything he did with Hitchcock.

>>213577374
>Have you seen Pushover, anon? Her debut, as a femme fatale in a decent noir. Her first scenes are ridiculously sexy.
Yes, I have. And yes, they are, especially once she's back in Fred MacMurray's apartment and takes her coat off. Hubba hubba.

His Girl Friday
>Eva
On The Waterfront

4th greatest movie of all time according to Scaruffi btw

I like The 39 Steps better but North by Northwest was great

>>213572807 (OP)
If you haven't seen Charade, you should. Makes a great double feature with North by Northwest

>>213573102
Get in reasonable shape (if you aren't) and then get a tailored mid-grey suit, anon. Then fake it till you make it.

>>213575293
I also love the 39 steps but it is half dumb hitchcock comedy and the finale is a bit limp. Still, great chemistry and a fun adventure. Feels a lot like The Lady Vanishes but trains are basically cheating for kino.

>>213573280
>July 4, 1924 (age 101)

>>213572807 (OP)
Most of Cary Grant's filmography has been kino. He was an enormously productive actor.

>>213580780
must be all the LSD he took

Another good blonde and killer location

>>213573709
Lighting and /blocking/ go hand in hand. And while people might at least pretend to understand lighting they have no clue what blocking even is anymore. Every scene is a fucking tragedy, like they’re shooting a gonzo documentary. Everyone’s roughly in frame with some headspace? Golden, run it.

>>213573828
>Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First, you're the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he's been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn't commit. And now, you play the peevish lover, stung by jealousy and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.
>Apparently, the only performance that will satisfy you is when I play dead.
>Your very next role. You'll be quite convincing, I assure you.

God damn that dialogue is something i miss from old movies, either original or theatre adaptations. The banter was off the charts.

>>213582945
That's such a fun film and Hitchcock invented another visual metaphor for fucking (the fireworks) as well as getting away with an amazing bit of dialog:

Frances Stevens: You want a leg or a breast?
John Robie: You make the choice.

>I also love the 39 steps but it is half dumb hitchcock comedy and the finale is a bit limp
Well, I really like that sequence when they're handcuffed together (including the adorable older couple at the inn). My only serious complaint about the film is how little Madeleine Carroll is in the first third - barely at all.

>>213572807 (OP)
it's a masterpiece. quite funny in parts too

>>213573102
You shouldn't compare yourself to movie characters. Nobody is like him IRL.
