The movie that we'll discuss over the month of March is North by Northwest! Here is how it works, from now until the end of March you can view this film at any point in time and then come into the thread and discuss it.

I strongly urge everyone to type out reviews and your thoughts of the film. Engage in discussion and try to expand your knowledge on the film. Look for metaphors, character development, camera techniques, etc. or anything that caught your eye that you would like to discuss. These films has a lot of themes and motifs that can be discussed. Don't be afraid to be the first one to speak out.

As always, be respectful or each others opinions. However, if you strongly feel a way about a film back it up. State why you feel that way and people will respect your opinion. Saying "North by Northwest sucked!" isn't really going to convince people that you know what you're talking about. Talk about it in detail so provide reasons. Same goes for why you liked it.

Feel free to score the film too. I'll have an area under here where I'll keep a tab of everyone's scores and what the average for the film is.

So let's get this started.
