Just rewatched The Trouble with Harry on Tuesday, and it may be the funniest film I've ever seen. "You never know when a dead rabbit may come in handy!"

I always say he's like The Beatles of his genre - the way the Beatles are mimicked (verse/chorus/bridge/vocal patterns etc.) STILL even if you don't think you're ripping them off, well you are. Well with Hitchcock's camera angles, pauses, cuts, use of light and shadow - that is all still mimicked today, even if you don't think you are, well you are. Following Kim Novak, with the descending twists......like Vertigo itself ........  |

One of the greatest directors of all time and of course a personal favorite!!!  We should have a festival for his bday. Just realize that none of his movies are on Netflix??? In my country, I think only Rear Window and Vertigo are on Netflix. That's something, anyway. |

My favorite director of all time. The Wrong Man, Vertigo, North By Northwest, and Psycho is hell of a four film run.

At worst, say he had a great 5-film run. *good point by comicman. That run from Rear Window thru The Birds.. 1954-1963..... is pretty sick. To Catch a Thief and The Man Who Knew Too Much aside.... those 10 years are the stuff that makes a career. |

At worst, say he had a great 5-film run. I love The Birds too, but most people put film runs in fours not fives, so I was just trying to be specific. If I wanted to go further, I could say his run from Dial M. For Murder to The Birds is my favorite of any director, period, as I happen to at least enjoy at least all the movies he made during that period. |

It appears the only Hitch movie on Prime is To Catch a Thief. If you guys want, we could even have a watch party one of these days.
