Rear Window (1954)
I'd guess this is my eighth viewing -- but I can quote huge sections, so that's probably a conservative estimate. This time I was introducing my younger son to this near-perfect movie.
Simply put: it's one of my favorites. Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, and Thelma Ritter make a terrific trio as, respectively, a restless photographer with a broken leg stuck staring out of the window in his stuffy apartment, the society belle hopelessly in love with him, and his no-nonsense nurse.
Even if they never saw anything interesting through the window, I think I'd still enjoy a couple of hours in the company of these characters (and actors). Funny, romantic, and suspenseful -- a treasure.
