What a great classic movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Watched this one on a Sunday afternoon. I really enjoyed the storytelling and suspense. Starring James Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life) and Grace Kelly (High Society)this movie was centered in the apartment of a photojournalist who has been injured and is recovering. Stuck in his wheelchair he watches all his neighbours through the window. Getting to know their comings and goings he realizes that one of them has been murdered. He desperately tries to prove his theory to the police all the while being stuck at home. It wasn't scary at all which is what you'd expect from Hitchcock. The kids watched it with me and really enjoyed it.
Rescue Dawn
Amazing true story of a pilot shot down over Laos during the Vietnam War. He survives the crash but must endure a prison camp and daring escape through the jungle. He makes friends with other prisoners and keeps their hopes alive with ingenious plans to deceive the guards. This was great to watch even if you don't care for wartime movies because the story is more about one mans survival. Starring Christian Bale (The Prestige, Batman Begins) supported by Steve Zahn(That Thing You Do, Daddy Day Care) and Jeremy Davies(Saving Private Ryan, Twister). Not for the kids but I would recommend it for adults and teens.
