Just about to watch it. I truly found vertigo a gem of a movie. Now i came to know why it is considered one of the best movies of all times. Pretty excited to know that u think its better than vertigo. lets see bro.

I enjoyed it more than Vertigo. It's more exciting and longer on suspense. And I liked the (much) larger cast better. Plus, NbyNW is genuinely funny in spades. Plus, I much prefer Cary Grant to Jimmy Stewart. And Eva Marie Saint gives a more nuanced performance than Kim Novak. And although the plots of both could be considered highly implausible, I think that NbyNW is ultimately more realistic. Finally, I saw both originally at ages 12 and 13, and 13 was a better year for me.

Agreed.The idea to film at Mt Rushmore, the faux Frank Lloyd Wright house, the UN, crop duster sequence: all breathtaking. Not to mention the gorgeous cast with Grant, Saint, Mason, Landau, and yes, Carroll.

A vintage film that remains a classic.

NBN is my favorite hitchcock movie!

I could never understand whey vertigo was considered a masterpiece - at one time it was voted the best movie ever made - so I think North by Northwest is much better

agreed . . . Vertigo is far below NxNW. . .

I liked Vertigo more. The ambiance, the plot, the music... I think it's more unique, original, haunting.

Maybe it's because NxNW has been copied more, I don't know.

There's more action in NxNW, that's for sure. But Vertigo is a very special film.

I think they are equal. Both are very good films.

I much prefer this to Vertigo.
