What's your fav?
Mine is REBECCA--Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, and that MENANCING Judith Anderson as Mrs. Danvers!

REAR WINDOW is one of the most perfect films ever made.
And M_E, REBECCA was made in 1940, just ONE year after the last good movie was made according to you.
So close.

REBECCA is my favorite Hitchcock too.
Wish I could find the BBC version.

Hey Undie,
Did you know that Hitchcock shot ROPE straight-through from beginning to end, just like he was directing a stage play?
He thought it was the best way to heighten the fear of the John Dall & Farley Granger as Stewart comes closer and closer to the truth...

Dg,
When you refer to PSYCHO, I presume you mean Gus Van Sant's marvelous "remake" in 1998? :)

Posted: 10/25/04 at 11:40amRear Window is my favorite, although I'm partial to Stangers on a Train because most of it was filmed in my town in CT.

Posted: 10/25/04 at 11:41amplaying devil's advocate here -but whats marvelous about a remake that is shot-for-shot exactly the same as the original, with the exception of the cast?
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Posted: 10/25/04 at 11:47amNot sure why, but "Dial M For Murder." Yes, it's "stagy" but I like stagy (it's the reason I go to so damn many plays).

Hey Margo,
Ever see the 1981 TV-remake with Angie Dickinson(!) and Christopher Plummer?
It was also scary, but in an entirely different way! :)

Posted: 10/25/04 at 12:07pmI cannot decide which of his films I love most - just saw Lifeboat for the first time and that was fun. I've always had a thing for Rebecca, and certainly get creeped out by Rear Window..but I might have to choose The Family Plot - just for the sheer brilliance of Barbra Harris!

Posted: 10/25/04 at 12:14pmCall me crazy, but I still love the Tippi Hedren duo: THE BIRDS and MARNIE.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Margo,
THE LADY VANISHES is GENIUS!
Ever read the novel the film is based on?

Posted: 10/25/04 at 12:26pmnow HOW could I have forgotten Vertigo - one of my favorite films of all time? I guess all this business of opening in a week has me all strung out!

Hey Morosco,
Did you know that VERTIGO was based on a Ftench Novel "D'Entre les Morts" (From Among the Dead) which was written specifically by authors Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac so Hitchcock could use it as the basis for a movie?

My favorites are TO CATCH A THIEF and REAR WINDOW.
Question: Where does Hitchcock show up in 'Rear Window'?

Winding the clock in the songwriter's apartment, a half
hour into the movie.
