And while I agree that Vertigo might be Hitchcock's masterpiece, NxNW is surely his blockbuster. <BR/><BR/>It was really the first American blockbuster and set the tone for years to come. You can easily compare it to others, like Raiders of the Lost Ark or Independence Day. <BR/><BR/>As far as importance goes, I think there is no greater Hitchcock movie than NxNw.________________________________https://www.blogger.com/profile/06645635180343001652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-74319848854769619022008-12-04T01:27:00.000-08:002008-12-04T01:27:00.000-08:00I love that scene where Kim Novak sits on the mote...I love that scene where Kim Novak sits on the motel bed, back lit by the thick green light of a nearby marquee.<BR/><BR/>Also, Jeff, William Friedkin made a solid remake of Wages of Fear called Sorcerer.

Cary Grant's David Huxley in <I>Bringing Up Baby</I> is an awkward, clueless man-child for the first half of the film. Compare how Grant is in that movie to who he is in <I>Suspicion</I>, where he is incredibly unnerving. Or his character in <I>Notorious</I>, where he's about as hard, cruel, and repressed as he ever gets.<BR/><BR/>Then there's the motormouth con artist in <I>His Girl Friday</I>, who is yet another incarnation. The only thing that links all these characters is the fact that they're <I>played</I> by Cary Grant, but they are different characters.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that sounds like a great way to wrap up the weekend. My family's movie pick was <I>We're No Angels</I> which I highly recommend. It's a rare Bogart comedy role, and it's a really sweet Christmas comedy with a lot of great gallows humor.<BR/><BR/>And to anyone else who thinks that <I>Psycho</I> defines Alfred Hitchcok, just... no. If you're into Hitchcock, and a lot us are, you know that <I>Psycho</I> is really one of his 2nd-tier works. Famous and a good film, but nothing to the movies we've talked about here. You owe it to yourself to at least watch <I>Rear Window</I> or <I>Shadow of a Doubt</I>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-34579032728061676212008-12-01T08:37:00.000-08:002008-12-01T08:37:00.000-08:00I really liked The Birds.That scene where they lea...I really liked The Birds.<BR/><BR/>That scene where they leave the house and the birds are all sitting there on the roof, telephone wires, etc, hauntingly silent, was just freaky.Slapshothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871117804779313798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-64167845095478601632008-12-01T06:28:00.000-08:002008-12-01T06:28:00.000-08:00Yep, 39 Steps is awesome too, as is Rope.
