Saying we disagree on a single strictly limited subject and that I think you are wrong about it is in no way either sweeping or moronic. It's a disagreement, that's all. The other stuff you're adding is useless baggage. Give it up.

You didn't limit the subject to Hitchcock. You did use a sweeping statement. Saying I have bad tatse in movies is sweeping. We may agree on every other movie ever made with the exception of Hitchcock for all you know. So yes, it was a moronic statement that was way too broad.

Rear Window is in my all-time top 10.

the story goes that the trims and cuts from the editing bay didn't even fill up a single reel. wow.

Err...movies was the subject.

Forget it, this seems to be going over your head and just turning pointless.

Best Hitch: Vertigo.
(and that's saying a lot!)

Most underrated Hitch: Rope.

I got to go to the Hitchcock museum expo here in Montreal a few years back, great stuff for a big fan.

My overall favorite is "Rebecca" - i make everyone i can watch this movie

thats a hard pick b/w vertigo and north by northwest (Grace Kellys best one was dial M for murder though not rear window - at least she got to be a PRINCESS!!) but....

one of my favs that was a kinda dark humor one that he did is "The Trouble with Harry" - it was one of shirley mcclaines 1st movies and one of his lesser known ones im sure but its one of the best representations of human nature that he did - doubt many of u have seen this one [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Lifeboat was another one of his that dealt with some of the more similar elements that i liked in the trouble with harry, dunno how many have seen that one either

a more easy going of his movies (charater wise to me and in standard plot formation) that will always be a fav b/c of doris days song Que Cera Cera (b/c this was song to me as a child) was "The Man Who Knew Too Much" - one of his better ones to me and more emotionally touching to me...everytime i see it

My two favorites are Rear Window and Shadow of a Doubt. The latter was also Hitch's own favorite.

Strangers on a Train definitely is on par with some of your other selections.

[/ QUOTE ]

I almost put Shadow of a Doubt in there, largely because I think Joseph Cotten is great every time I see him.

i feel the same way about joseph cotten....he always does amazingly everytime i see him in a movie

I've yet to see Vertigo.

But I'm shocked, shocked and appalled that Strangers on a Train wasn't on this list. It's my pick.

I voted for Psycho, as it is one of my all-time favs, but Rear Window is also hard to beat.

FWIW, my older sister and her best friend called me Norman when we were growing up.
