 Topic: Best Hitchcock film
Posted: April 09 2005 at 13:18 |
So many good ones to chose from, but which of the great director's films is your favourite?
I've listed most of his later films, so apologies if your's is an early one I've had to omit.
I've gone for North by Northwest (Cary Grant), but it was tough to decide between that, Marnie, and 39 steps (and indeed, many others!)

I would've picked Notorious if it was there, but instead I had to go with Rear Window.

That's really impossible to say.. He made so many wonderful films  .
Out of the ones I've seen, my favourites are Rear Window, The Trouble
With Harry, Vertigo and Psycho. I'll choose Vertigo this time  .

Whilst you couldnt consider "To Catch A Thief" a Hitchcock classic,it is my favourite film of his.Nothing to do with writing,directing etc,just one thing-
Grace Kelly.
She absolutely dazzles the screen with her incredible beauty and looks so good in this one that occasionally I have to gulp,just to breathe.
She's not particularly sexy,just so drop-dead gorgeous,with looks to die for.

I voted for pshyco. It's really a soild and timeless story. I would have voted for the Birds, however, but i didnt care for the ending. North by northwest is good as well...if fact I would say about 85% of his work is absoulutely fantastic.

Haven't seen half of those, but Rear Window remains as one of my
personal favourites.

it was hard to pick between Rear Window and North by Northwest but I decided Rear Window was better, but not by much

I choose Rope, to mantain the intrigue in a room for an our is an outstanding work (the same can be said for the rear window, but Rope is an earlier film).

It's hard to chose only one I voted for Vertigo, but I love 39 steps, Notorius and North by north west just the same.

VERTIGO, although if asked on a different day I could have told you a number of other choices... I almost clicked PSYCHO.
