The bulging eye is creepy. But the second when she subtly purses her lips is just as creepy.

Coincidentally, Turner Classic Movies is airing it this evening at 8:00pm Eastern. Watch it once, and marvel.
I agree. This is possibly the best movie ever made. Every scene is like a painting. The director followed the book as well as possible. I don't understand it when directors change the story when gold exists in the original story. I can't understand why the director changed the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows from the very satisfying ending that already existed in the book.
Holy cats! Never knew that was Kim Novak’ eye. The TV ad began with the eye already widening and quickly ended with a kettledrum flourish & the vortex.
“At Your Local Theater Now!”
This list is worthless.
America owns the movies. Sorry, Europe. Sorry, World. Your “films” are giant sucking soporific exercises in tedium and self-indulgence.
You’re still learning... slowly. You should stick to painting, piano, and pastry.
The only movies on this list that are any good are the American ones. Except, oddly enough, “Citizen Kane” and “Vertigo.” Which both drip with unfortunate European influences.
(P.S. Don’t say Hitchcock was a Brit. He came to America to make American movies. And he learned how.)
Vertigo isn’t even Hitchcock’s best...The Birds and Psycho are both better films.
Citizen Kane is AMAZING. I’ve seen it over thirty times and every time I watch it...I see something new for me.
Just another opinion...yours may be different...that’s baseball.
I thought Hitchcock’s “North By Northwest” was better than “Vertigo”. Of course, I’m a Cary Grant and James Mason fan.
And the real best movie ever made, Casablanca, doesn’t make the top 50. Oh, well. Everyone has an opinion.
Interesting! Bump!
True, but I think “Trip to the Moon” is excluded just because these lists only cover “feature” films, so they have to be over an hour long.
“Best of” lists are always funny as hell but the voters of this poll are collectively the most pretentious bunch I have seen in a long,long time. I defy anyone to watch these top ten and not snooze through at least 4 of the films.
The best thing about Vertigo, is that it inspired High Anxiety.
Speaking of “A Trip To The Moon”, Hugo, I think will one day be on the list...it’s the first movie where 3D really did add value to it.
Never heard of most of them and can’t stand the ones I have heard of.

Thanks for the ping!

Please explain the reasoning behind your comment. Perhaps you are confusing Jimmy Stewart with some other actor; I’ve always thought Jimmy Stewart was a saint on many levels, and I’ve never read or heard anything to suggest otherwise.
If all “Conservatives” were as loathsome as Jimmy Stewart was as a human being, this would be a sorry world indeed.
You really need to get educated on the truth about Stewart. He was NOT what the left tries to say he was. James Stewart was a patriotic American who left Hollywood to become a pilot over Europe. He was a Colonel who flew B-24 Liberator bomber
Stewart was a staunch conservative, a friend and supporter of Ronald Reagan (and a frequent White House guest during his presidency), who also actively backed Richard Nixon (if he can be called a conservative) and Barry Goldwater. Like Goldwater, he served, as a brigadier general, in the Air Force Reserve.
For his war service, among his many honors, he received the Distinguished Flying Cross. One of his sons, Ronald, a Marine officer, was killed in action in Vietnam in 1969. Stewart was awarded the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Reagan in 1985.
During WWII, Jimmy became a colonel who flew bombing missions over Europe. He already a big star who had already done films like “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and “The Philadelphia Story” when he joined the Army Air Corps.
Stewart was a conservative Republican long before being a Republican was cool. When other big stars were supporting the likes of socialist like Roosevelt, Truman and others, Stewart supported politicians who believed in America's greatness.
His close and personal friend of Henry Fonda, but they agreed to disagree in politics and never discussed them because they disagreed so vehemently when Jimmy tried to convince Henry about who the Democrats really were. I am convinced that if Fonda were alive today he would become a Republican while apologizing to his good friend Jimmy for being so blind about who the Democrats were.
The charities he supported with his money have been responsible for helping many things we take for granted today. Like most great honorable men, he never tooted his own horn. He did what was right and went on without bragging like all the leftists Hollywood stars who were doing things for show. Jimmy Stewart was a great American, and I would have been proud to have known him.
You need to get educated and as i said, quit listening to the communists who despise him and his American values.
