    This is an awesome movie that follows a man stuck in his home from a broken leg who watches the world that unfolds around his apartment courtyard.
    We get to watch this world as well from the protection of his window and we are able to spy on little pieces of these peoples lives and even see what may be a murder take place.
    The mood of the film weighs heavy as we too are trapped in the apartment. Hitchcock makes the story flow and the characters come alive even though they are just people in windows.

    Hitchcock's "Rear Window" aged very well, considering the time it was made. The innovative camera work of the film is best discussed on a film school, so if you're just a regular "movie-goer", it is not the cinematography your gonna pay attention but the great suspense and tension. The "thrill" factor of the film is still competent today, perhaps even surpassing some of today's so-called "suspense movies". James Stewart's performance is excellent, considering his very limited movements throughout the film. "Rear Window" is an indispensable classic from the golden-age, and a brilliant work of a master. The last 10 minutes of the film will make your heart pound, as it draws near to a very suspenseful, but yet short-lived climax.

    This is one of my favourite Alfred Hitchcock movies, it is so suspenseful, and it really keeps you guessing the whole time! you wonder if he really is imagining it all...

    Strange and delicious blend of the romantic and the sordid. And, it goes for both the good and bad guys.

    One of my Favorite Hitchcock Movies. A definite must see if you haven't seen it.
    Sometimes you have to watch it a couple of times to register all the excellent details as Hitchcock leaves much to the imagination of what really happened.
    Fantastic as a murder has taken place and no one has noticed.
    Grace Kelly is definitely a scene stealer as Lisa Carrol Fremont.
    For it is her that must do all of L. B. Jefferies(James Stewart) legwork to find out if his neighbor really is a killer.
    Thelma Ritter is also a joy as his nurse
