What's Sup Forums's favourite Hitchcock film? mines North by Northwest. It's easily one of my favourite movies of all time.

Charade
39 Steps or The Lady Vanishes. I really like the general chemistry between the leads in 39 Steps but the protagonist and premise of TLV is a bit better

I haven't seen either of those. But i'll have to check them out.

north by northwest is one of the best films ever made in part because it is literally the best ending sequence ever

Marnie was always one of my favorites. The Trouble With Harry is underrated

Those two are my faves so far too. They're endlessly entertaining.

I found NbNW really hard to get into, I hate movies where the protagonist just doesn't speak up for himself and lets the bad plot happen to him. Same thing with Grant in Bringing Up Baby really.

I actually really like Rope (not for the main gimmick, I just really like those performances and that script) and The Birds; it's so damn camp and ridiculous I can't help but like it.

I enjoyed rope aswell

Psycho is so good. As the tension builds in the office scene. As she keeps driving and driving makes us wonder if shes going to steal it all the more. How we can hardly accept that she's going to die and that she isn't the protagonist. fucking phenomenal

first for vertigo is overrated.

You know, I've never particularly cared for Psycho or Vertigo; I don't even rate them as being in Hitchcock's top five

Rear Window, but I haven't seen too many. I've got Rope and Marnie in the queue.

i feel like psycho being many peoples first it gets both underrated and overrated (since plebs rate it highly to seem cool and patricians rate it lowly to not seem like plebs).

maybe it's jusut that the pacing is so different from everything else i've seen, it really stands out for me.

>"I've never understood the cult of Hitchcock. Particularly the late American movies... Egotism and laziness. And they're all lit like television shows. I saw one of the worst movies I've ever seen the other night ['Rear Window'], complete insensitivity to what a story about voyeurism could be.

>complete insensitivity to what a story about voyeurism could be.
I hate these three sentence hot takes that leave me with more questions about what they meant than answers about their opinion.

My real problem with Rear Window is how it presumes guilt based on absolutely nothing and makes the police antagonists for upholding the man's rights, but they're proven right in the end just based on a hunch. I spent the whole film thinking that it couldn't have been him, and the great Hitchcock twist would be that they ignore the desperate woman on the bottom floor to chase imagined murderers.

it's entirely possible Psycho has far more to admire than I'm able appreciate at the moment. Maybe one day I'll revisit it.

true.
I thought my rip was faulty when I watched it the first time

>I hate these three sentence hot takes that leave me with more questions about what they meant than answers about their opinion.
Me too. I can't even begin to understand what he's trying to say.

This is the age of the internet and people still insist on using confusing quotes with no context. I get that you're fishing for replies but you see this shit all the time, so fucking dumb.

>I spent the whole film thinking that it couldn't have been him, and the great Hitchcock twist would be that they ignore the desperate woman on the bottom floor to chase imagined murderers.
To be fair you hav eto realize that a lot of your expectations of horror movies are based on what Hitchcock did. Not defending Rear Window - I don't like it much either - just that it's something to keep in mind when discussing how he structures his mysteries/reveals.

The Birds

Why?

I like birbs :3

nostalgia, it was the first Hitchcock film I ever saw and watched it a lot growing up. Also it's so well-paced, suspenseful and comfy at the same time.

Shadow of a Doubt

thoughts on topaz?
havent seen it yet desu. is it really that terrible?

Rebecca is the only right answer. FACT.

They all suck. Most overrated director in history.

this. the birds is kino af.

t.frozen peas salesman

man i really hated the melodramatic scenes in North...i didn´t care about their love story, so dumb


also Vertigo and Psycho are my favourites

also the opera scene in the Man who knew too much is god-tier kino, easily the best of his carreer
