North by Northwest 1959
Such an epic film, and I can’t believe it came out in 1959, predating any James Bond film that it was to clearly influence greatly. I mean, take one look at Cary Grant as Roger Thornhill and then look at any Sean Connery Bond film.

Robert De Niro is great as Jack Walsh, a hired bounty hunter and former police officer - and the sour-faced straight…
