The Films of Alfred Hitchcock

[romeat50]

One of my favorite Hitcock movies is Strangers on a Train which I think was released in 1951. I think it is somewhat underrated. I love Robert Walker as the villian.

Don't let Huntergrayson see this!








This is more for giggles, because I personally disagree with just about every word written in it.

Oh FFS. Who the hell is the INFANT who wrote that piece anyway? What the hell does he know?

[huntergrayson]

Seriously, the author lost any credibility after his "WAH!, Mulholland Drive didn't make any sense! And therefore David Lynch is a terrible director!" whine. And, you know what, yeah, the psychoanalysis at the end of Psycho is a bit lame. But the 80 minutes plus leading up to that are pretty solid.

Who the fuck is Ben Shapiro?

Hate to break it to ya Benny-boy but Vertigo, Rear Window, Notorious, North by Northwest and Psycho are all considered some of the greatest films ever made. Actual world-famous critics agree on this. Critics with gravitas. Such a shame they'll let anyone post drivel on the Internet.

He lost me at this:

Thelma and Louise is liberal tripe, although it does provide the best imagistic summary of modern feminism: two irritating “independent” women driving themselves off a cliff.

Oh har har!

ETA: Ok, I just finished the list. I want to see this guy's top ten favorite directors. I can't even imagine.

I caught Rear Window about a month ago and...I wasn't all that impressed. Sure it was good, but it didn't have me on the edge like I thought it would. LOVED Grace Kelly's fashion. Edith Head, so brilliant.

I hate to confess it, because it is so loved and my friend's favorite Hitch, but I like Rear Window just...okay.

I'm bumping because Universal has announced that, as part of their 100th Anniversary Marketing/Celebration, they are releasing The Birds on Blu-Ray and the "Alfred Hitchcock series" at the end of the year. (FWIW, the titles that Universal previously released on DVD as the 'Masterpiece Collection' are - Saboteur, Shadow of a Doubt, Rope, Rear Window, The Trouble With Harry, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds, Marnie , Torn Curtain (1966), Topaz, Frenzy, & Family Plot).

Also I hate Kim's "using the score for Vertigo = rape" ridiculousness. Which sucks, because that is one of my favorite films and she's being so douchey that I will now be annoyed by her on-screen.

Meanwhile, A&E is developing a TV series that would be a prequel to Psycho. (Which they already tried once before.)
