Re: Best Hitchcock
rear window by a mile...and yes I agree, Hitchcock is crazy overrated. I guess he pioneered some techniques, but MOST of his films just aren't THAT good (the ones listed and a few more are obviously good, but only a couple are GREAT).

Re: Best Hitchcock
I agree with SL72 that The Man Who Knew Too Much was great, but I have to give the nod to one of his only comedies:
The Trouble With Harry. Home to such great lines as: He looked exactly the same when he was alive, only he was vertical. Plus...call me crazy, but the young Shirley MacLaine was a cutie. -web

Re: Best Hitchcock
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I just finally watched Notorious like a week ago. My vote definately goes to Vertigo [/ QUOTE ] If I could vote for two it would be Vertigo and Notorious. Notorious is definitely his most "cruel" movie. There is the usual black humor in it, but also a more vicious undercurrent. [/ QUOTE ] Could you explain this? Cruel isn't the first word that comes to my mind about this movie, but I'm listening.

[/ QUOTE ] it's cruel because of the abuse he heaps upon Bergman's character; he makes her an "alcoholic" and then has her fall in love with a man who plays emotional S&M with her. Not to mention the poison. There's a lot more (I actually wrote a paper about it in college)

did you all know that he appears in most or even all of his movies somewhere. look for him next time you watch one. [/ QUOTE ] I heard this too, but I've never been able to find him in "Rope." Anyone know when/if he appears in this movie?

[/ QUOTE ] had to look it up: His trademark can be seen briefly on a neon sign in the view from the apartment window, approximately 55 minutes into the movie.
