Hitchcock

[James]

Your favorite Hitchcock flick?

[TheGSMoeller]

Notorious.

Grant helping Bergman down the stairs at the end of Notorious is classic Hitchcock. Intensity at its finest.

Vertigo.

This film remains fascinating even after multiple viewings, because it's beautifully shot and it plays out like a tragic romance.

When Scottie utters these lines:

Scottie: And then what did he do? Did he train you? Did he rehearse you? Did he tell you exactly what to do, what to say? You were a very apt pupil too, weren't you? You were a very apt pupil! Well, why did you pick on me? Why me?

...it's simply heart breaking.

They're coming to de-cap your Thread James. Fight em with all you got!!

[Dancing Divertimentian]

Vertigo. Just the coolest ending of all time.

My favorite three would be North by Northwest, Rear Window and to Catch a Thief. The last bears repeated watching well. The first has one of my favorite scenes with the plane in the fields (but here it is the anticipation of it while he is waiting). Still, Rear Window has long been my favorite. Rebeccas and the 39 Steps are also up there for me,

Can't say enough about 'Frenzy'.

Hitchcock + 1972 = Giallo Supreme

Vertigo, but there are many that I like just about as much.

Saboteur is misspelled. Just saying.

Vertigo, but there are many that I like just about as much.

I find the question about as impossible as a favorite Stravinsky piece. Different periods of Hitch's work have a different feel, which (too) is part of what I like about him.

[Bogey]

Rear Window, but I could live with choosing Rope.

[Karl Henning]

The two versions of The Man Who Knew Too Much are both interesting (and entertaining).

Has anyone see Stage Fright (1950)?

Has anyone see Stage Fright (1950)?

I've found this at (and checked it out from) the BPL . . . will report.

So, what's your fav NON-HITCH Hitch film?

Not Charade

[Lisztianwagner]

I vote for Spellbound.

[Drasko]

North by Northwest followed by To Catch a Thief and The Lady Vanishes.

[Karl Henning]

Mr Kaplan . . . .

I am just back from the BPL where I've checked out To Catch a Thief afresh. No fooling!

[Karl Henning]

I need to watch Rear Window again . . . .

FRENZZZY

Watched about a third of To Catch a Thief last night.  We all know how terrifyingly good Hitch could be when he was in earnest;  but I enjoy him when he's just out on a lark, too.
