Does anyone here like Alfred Hitchcock or seen his movies? I was watching one of his movies the other day, Rear Window with James Stewart and Grace Kelly. That was pretty good.

Yes.  I've seen a few.  Refuse to watch The Birds, due to pre-exisiting bird phobia.

I probably will see his movies.  My dad's favourite cable channel is TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and that's all he watches so I've seen a few probably.

I LIKED that one and couldnt remember what the name of it was.. LOL, I was talking about this movie last week.

  Hmm, I think its time to have another movie marathon night over here and rent that movie. We get a few movies and watch them non stop.

Not a real big fan of horror movies although I'd probably like Hitchcock

more of a fan of neo-noir 60's and 70's films from Europe (France & UK mainly and some hollywood) and dystopian noir films.  Love that depressing the world gone down the crapper feel you get in those.

When I told my dad I rented that movie he freaked out. I never understood what was so wrong about it. The thing that makes it creepy is how the music is used in my opinion.

I recommend Rebecca.  Very atmospheric psychological drama -- some great characters in that film.   Vertigo does a wonderful job of employing phobias into the plot, adding tension.  Psycho is still a film that leaves quite an impression after viewing it.

Well, son of a gun.....I just looked up Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, and NEITHER of them are Hitchcock movies.  All these years I always thought they were.  It's a good thing I never got into a betting situation....I'd have lost money on that one.
