Sunset Ave. by far.

oops i ment sunset bulevard sorry guys

Both are amazing. No wrong answer here.

Both great films. Despite the fact that I love Sunset Boulevard, it's North by Northwest quite easily for me.

The 50's is the best movie decade of all time! Two top 20's going at it. They're just so different. NXNW is so colorful, witty, and charming in a very lighthearted kind of way while Sunset Blvd. is dark and serious with a phenomenal script and acting. I really don't know which to pick.

North by Northwest is pure film, but Sunset Blvd. is more contemplative in tone, and has more behind it. Both films land in my top twenty, but Sunet's brilliant performances top even Cary Grant's great charisma.
