treeduck Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 F*ck, I'm spoilt for choice, 'cause I got a Sir Alfred H. Box for Christmas. :)I started with Psycho and now 14 gems to choose from. Frenzy, Birds, Vertigo...Hell, what a good filmmaker he was.I'm gonna go on a Hitchcock run in a few weeks. :hail:I've got Strangers on a Train waiting on DVR, and North by Northwest,It's gonna be Hitchcocksvllle around here. :smoke: 1

treeduck Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 MarnieTorn CurtainMarnie is one of the most underrated Hitchcock films and I think it's the last of his with a really classic feel and it's probably the last really good one. After this his films seemed out of place, and lacked a certain magic. I do like Frenzy but it doesn't really seem like a proper Hitchcock film, maybe partly because he was't on set for some of the filming. The fight in Torn Curtain I always find hard to watch. Marnie and the Birds scared me when I was a little kid. 1

Marnie and the Birds scared me when I was a little kid.You nail it here. The fight in Torn Curtain is one of the worst scenes I've seen in a Hitchcock film. Ridiculous.I always loved Frenzy, but I haven't seen it in ages. Maybe that's the next one I'm going to watch. By the way, Kidnapped and Catriona are my favourite RLS books. :cheers:

Michael Caine was first choice for the part but he turned it down because he didn't want to play a character as depraved as that. 1

greyfriar Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Just finished Vertigo. Great film with a lot of atmosphere. I love the scene that Terry Gilliam used for 12 Monkeys. 1
