Also I been wanting to see some Bela Tarr for a while and you've seen 'em all...<br />For 1 and 2, I'm very surprised to see that there aren't as many <i>Vertigo</i> defenders out there!MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366182655374603950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-50017133206622466622012-02-14T13:03:19.751-05:002012-02-14T13:03:19.751-05:00Wow, I sure have a lot of catching up to do almost...Wow, I sure have a lot of catching up to do almost ashamed to admit how many of these I still haven't seen... but at least we can all agree on 1 and 2.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-13841410520707264832012-02-14T12:11:06.452-05:002012-02-14T12:11:06.452-05:00Back in 2010 I tried to watch his entire oeuvre bu...Back in 2010 I tried to watch his entire oeuvre but many things got in the way... However, the few that I haven't seen I own most of them on DVD but the versions are bad... I'll wait until they have proper releases.<br /><br />Samer thing for me for <i>Psycho</i> and for many Classic films that are wasted because of overuse of references and citations...<br /><br /><i>Dial M for Muder</i> is one of the Hitchcock I'll have to revisit soon first for Grace Kelly and also because it is a great suspense.<br /><br /><i>Vertigo</i> is kind of untouchable because many people consider it to be Hitchcock's mastepiece. It is one indeed, but I prefer my top 3 before.<br /><br /><i>To Catch a Thief</i> underappreciated and I really like it. Not as deep as Hitch's other films but like you mentioned a lot of fun.MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366182655374603950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-73121354290400609552012-02-14T11:24:20.614-05:002012-02-14T11:24:20.614-05:00You've seen more Hitchcock films than I have, ...You've seen more Hitchcock films than I have, and I've seen none of the ones you have missed.<br /><br />Your top 2 would be my top 2. I knew what was going to happen in Psycho, of course, so that weakened the impact for me a little bit. I've always wondered how I would have reacted if I could have gone in blind.<br /><br />I thought Dial M for Murder was terrific and it would be in my top 5. Vertigo would not make my top 5. The 39 Steps left me a little let down when it was finally revealed what they were. I had a "that's it?" response to it. To Catch a Thief was a fun film, perhaps a little lighter than Hitchcock usually does.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-58891376539291421632012-02-13T12:54:19.437-05:002012-02-13T12:54:19.437-05:00Thanks Ed.

The top 5 might be interchangeable in my case too, but <i>Rear Window</i> is No.1 and it is here to stay. <br /><i>The Trouble With Harry</i> is the first Hitchcock I ever saw and I have a special for it too. However, since I love many Hitchcock films it was hard to dispatch some over others. <i>Frenzy</i> wasn't my cup of tea but I really enjoyed <i>Family Plot</i>. Discovering Hitch's filmography is a lot of fun and it is never boring.<br />Thanx for commenting, very appreciated!MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366182655374603950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-5714512499805914392012-02-13T10:50:23.491-05:002012-02-13T10:50:23.491-05:00Great list.

I'd probably place <i>The Trouble With Harry</i> higher, I have a lot of affection for that one, and I like some of the later films (especially <i>Family Plot</i> and <i>Frenzy</i>) more than you seem to. Ditto for some of the earliest ones, like <i>Young and Innocent</i>, which is a lot of fun.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.com
