One of the books you can read more than once in your life
This is one of that amazing books you'll never get tired reading.
The not so incredible history of Oskar Matzerath is well marked
in a real world where people is not good or evil at all, they are
only people in his time and circumstances, nor heroes neither
villaines.

Best book I have ever read.
I read this book 13 years ago and thought it was a fantastic
story. I have read numerous books in the mean time that are also
literary jewels, but nothing compares to The Tin Drum. If you
read nothing else in life, READ THIS BOOK!

There ought to be a law...
...that states that everyone should read this book. The title
story is at once hilarious and heartbreaking. Roth is one of the
most gifted writers America has produced, and this (his first
book) proves it. I particularly admire Roth's ability to get the
reader to sympathize and realate to characters they don't
particularly like. It was a an unforgettable experience. Don't
waste your time with the movie version though. A real
disappointment.

A masterpiece only Hitchcock could make!
This is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it about a dozen
times and it only gets better each time. Watch the little boy
cover his ears in the background in the scene where Eva Marie
Saint "shoots" Cary Grant. This is a must see movie if
there ever was one!

HITCHCOCK`S ONLY FOR MGM - A CLASSIC
North By Noryhwest(1959) was Hitchcock`s last masterpiece
concerning a man who had to prove his innocence(Others were
Foreign Correspondent, The Man who Knew Too Much 1938 & 1955,
Strangers on a Train and The Wrong Man). THIS was maybe his best
on this theme. Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason and
Martin Landau all excelled in their roles. Opening credits by
Saul Bass, photography by Robert Burks and music by Bernard
Herrmann also worth credit... North by Northwest, ranks with
PSYCHO, THE BIRDS and MARNIE as my all-time favorite Hitchcock
films...

Best movie ever!
Psycho is my favorite movie of all time. The film is such a
suspenceful film. Norman Bates (Anthony
Perkins) is so well acted out. Marion Crane (Jenet Leigh) is also
well acted. After you watch this
movie, you'll never want to take a shower again!

PSYCHO THE CENTURY'S BEST FILM
This is the best Hichcock film that I have seen. It was o sea of
exitment that glued your eyes to the television. Althought I
found the shower scene a bit scary that was the best scene in the
film I have watched it over and over again. Psycho is one of this
century's best film. GREAT!!
