She managed to get every single title wrong! (I'm laughing with her, not at her )

I have mentioned to her 3 or 4 times now that she should write her posts in Word, but she refuses. Oh well.

I'm going for Psycho, only because the shower scene is very intimating.

rear window is my all time favorite

the man who knew too much
north by northwest
vertigo
to catch a thief

Rear Window is good, but Strangers on a Train is my personal fav.

Tough choice between Psycho, Rearwindow, NBNW, and Vertigo but I would have to say Psycho followed very closely by Rearwindow are my favorites.

Highlights - art auctions at amazing prices, got my Divine Comedy original edition for the cost of the frame. All you can eat steak, lobster, shrimp, ribs... hmmmmm
Low points - Seen it all before not living too far from Alaska

The original "Psycho" kicked complete ass!!!

Mine would most definatly have to be: -

Psycho - By the by love your avatar Mark, "Oh mother!"
Vertigo
Rear Window
The Birds

I just love Jimmy S. i love evrything about the man. I really enjoyed him in Vertigo, his shocked face twirling down a pshycadelic multicoloured kalidoscope with his quiffy hair blowing in the wind. Brilliant!
I also love The Birds. Who knew they could be so scary? There are elements that do make me snigger when i watch it but over all i love the way its filmed. The bit with Tippi Hedren (sp?) waiting outside the school and the mounting Crows appearing on the climbing frame. Love it!

Saw a bit of Rope the other day but fell asleep watching it. plan to watch that soon. Also saw the ending to Rebecca, it absoloulty blew me away! With the mansion burning down and all the fire, absoloulty loved the way it was filmed. This is probably the next film i'll rent actually as im so intrigued about it.

Just wondering, wheres the Poll gone? Would anyone object to starting a new thread and a new poll with all of Hitch's films on there and so we can see what wins? id like to see...

The Birds

Also the one (I can't remember the title) that had the pi symbol and them shoving the japanese's guy in the gas stove.

My vote goes to the birds, (someone had to!) i think its great for such an old film, the trick shots are really good, it almost gets you bieleving in those phsyco seagulls.

Hasn't anyone seen Marnie.
Everyone has mentioned several Hitchcock films, the ones that seem to get more attention within the media. But Marnie is one the best Hitchcock film with Rear Window a close second.

Saw Lifeboat the other day. Was superb.

Definitely Vertigo. Also like Psycho and Torn Curtain w. Paul Newman and Julie Andrews is very entertaining as well. Another fun one to watch is, of course, To Catch a Thief--Grace Kelly is hot in that one. And, of course, North by Northwest is another suspenseful one--great chase sequence with the plane.

Best? No idea. You could throw a rock with your eyes closed and a great Hitchcock movie would give a little yelp.

Favourite? At the risk of sounding like a parrot - North By Northwest, Vertigo, Rear Window, The 39 Steps, Psycho etc etc etc.
