What Hitchcock movie should I rent tonight? I want something that's suspeceful. Anything other than Psycho, Rear Window, and Vertigo (I haven't seen Vertigo but my brother has, so I want to get something different).

Also any other good suggestions outside of Hitchcock would be appreciated.

What's that Bird one..? It's pretty good.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #2 on:** December 28, 2006, 04:23:34 PM »

Nah. I want something with suspece! A thriller.

Is Rope really good?

Basically anything readily available on DVD that he made between 1940 to 1960 is a classic, for the most part. I haven't seen many of his early Brit movies so I cannot vouch for them.

My favorites, in no real order:

Strangers on a Train (Raymond Chandler worked on the script so I have a particular boner for it)
The 39 Steps (the 30s version)
Shadow of a Doubt
Lifeboat
Notorious
Rope
The Man Who Knew Too Much (the 50s version, never seen the original)
North by Northwest (one of my favorite favorites)
Frenzy (I don't hear many people talk about this one, though, so maybe it's not an all-around fan favorite)

I also have a soft spot for Family Plot for whatever reason. It's his last movie so I guess it's worth watching just for that.

Lifeboat sounds VERY interesting. I think I'm going to get it along with Rope.

Apparently there are two gay characters in Rope?

Yeah, but it's all in subtext. Strangers on a Train does a similar thang, too.

As Whitey said, you can't go wrong with 40's-60's Hitch. Some of his earlier stuff, while pretty rough, is also great. I wouldnt touch his 70's work. Check out the underrated "Marnie" from 1964, starring Tippi Hedren from The Birds, and Mr. Bond himself, Sean Connery.

Also, some of my other favorites that haven't been mentioned yet:

To Catch A Thief
Dial 'M' For Murder
Foreign Correspondent
The Lady Vanishes
Rebecca

you shouldn't discount The Birds either, PD. Very awesome film.

I got The Birds tonight. Last night I got Strangers on a Train and loved it, although no one posted in that thread

Try making a Mr. & Mrs. Smith topic, I'm sure it'll be a huge hit!

Well, is there REALLY a need to make a new thread for each movie you watch? If I did that, Id have 4x as many posts as I do now. Why not just make a "PD does the movies lol" thread if you really want to review everything you watch? That way everything stays in one thread.

Good idea.

Well, did you watch The Birds?

ARE YOU GOING TO RENT NORTH BY NORTHWEST??

Rear Window is pretty good

Rope is very underappreciated.
