Jake Gittes Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If I did a similar list, though, The Birds would be a serious contender for my #1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Other than just telling me I'm wrong.... why am I wrong? (in terms of PSYCHO, at least). You wasn't wrong. Not on that one at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) So basically this turned into the, Hitchcock Is Overrated thread. Edited January 23, 2015 by Fancyarcher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Those aren't great either. IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is basically the movie equivalent of a Hallmark card. Which even if were true (and it's not) would not make it a "message movie" unless that term applies to any movie that's about something. Hell, The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises are far more message movies if that's the criteria. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) No he's very good. He's one of my favorite directors of all time, and Vertigo and Psycho are among my favorite movies of all time, so to say that I despise Tele's choice of #1 would be an understatement.

TalismanRing Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Other than just telling me I'm wrong.... why am I wrong? (in terms of PSYCHO, at least). I'd rather discuss how wrong you are... Morally, ethically Spiritually, physically Positively, absolutely Undeniably and reliably wrong! Not only merely wrong Really most sincerely wrong Now if you'd picked Vertigo... but that would be on my list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Hunt Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I've seen 6 of the films on this list. I disagree with 5 of them. The one that I do agree with I still love but it's overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Rear Window is my personal favorite. Notorious and Rear Window top my Hitchcock list but the list of his films I love is a rather lengthy one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So basically this turned into the, Hitchcock Is Overrated thread. because he is. according to TSPDT's compilation of critic's top 250 directors, he's the best all-time. hardly. he's a studio director who made a couple of really good films a shitton of awful ones.

Jake Gittes Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Vertigo and Shadow of a Doubt are my favorite Hitchcocks. The former is easily his most personal and artful movie, and the latter is like a proto-Blue Velvet which I frankly enjoy more than Blue Velvet. Rear Window is great too. I still have like a dozen of his films I want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
