 Posted: 09/22/04 - 08:51 Post subject: Favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie?
http://imdb.com/name/nm0000033/ - for a complete listing
I haven't even come close to seeing all the movies that he's directed. 
I'm going with Rear Window though. That's a good suspense flick. PLUS Grace Kelly makes me feel rather  .

Hard to pick one. I'd have to narrow down to two:
Rear Window -- (the freakout of tension when Jimmy Stewart's watching the killer return with Grace Kelly in his apartment is sublime.)
and
Rope--A lesser known one adapted from the stage that all takes place in one scene at a dinner party where two brilliant psychopaths have planned and conducted a murder just for the 'power of God' feeling it gave them--and how the whole thing unravels at the hands of their old professor and mentor Jimmy Stewart. Kind of a condemnation of Objectivism, at least as envisioned by some.

I need to go on a Hitchcock spree because i haven't seen many.
But i'll say The Birds. That one is creepy as nothing else.

Stranger on a Train is a lesser known masterpiece.
Lifeboat is a classic too.

Old Al had to get pretty creative to make an appearance in that one.
Do remember how he did it?
