alfred hitchcock movies

Have you seen North By Northwest? If you like Rear Window , you may like this one. I love Hitchcock films but not Psycho too! I like that they have a style of their own. And I love trying to find Alfred! He put himself in each film.Oh! I just thought about two more films you should see. Rope and To Catch A Thief! Both are great. Rope has Jimmy Stewart, To Catch a Thief has Grace Kelly.

I loved Spellbound and Dial M for Murder. Spellbound starred Ingrid Bergmann and Gregory Peck. I remember there was a dream sequence where the visuals were done by Salvador Dali. Very surreal. I also liked Ray Milland's performance in Dial M for Murder. The other aspect of Hitchcock movies that I get a kick out of were his cameo appearances. I believe he had cameos in all of his films, even the one where all the action takes place on a lifeboat. (Apparently, his picture appeared on a newspaper that someone had.) I never saw the film but I remember a trivia contest that included that tidbit.

It's amazing how much scarier his films are than some of the modern horror or supsense movies out currently. Just because they have come further in special effects certainly didn't make them automatically more frightening, that's for sure.

I also love Hitchcock films. I think they've kind of spoiled me for most modern day horror and suspense films. Hitchcock didn't rely on blood and gore, instead he concentrated on developing the characters and making viewers THINK as well as jump and scream. I kind of disagree with many who have responded here in that I LOVED Psycho. To this day I can't take a shower when I'm alone in the house without locking every possible door and then double-checking to make sure they're locked. I'm a total wreck in motel rooms...lol! I also loved Rear Window and Vertigo, among others. This discussion has reminded me of some of his films I'd more or less forgotten about, some of which I've seen and some which I've somehow missed. Now I'm going to make it a point to watch them all, either again or for the first time. Annie

I never bothered to find out who acted in any of his movies. The fact that it was an Alfred Hitchcock's movie was enough reason for me to watch it. I liked every single movie I watched. He had his own style. I read somewhere while he enjoyed throwing suspense at others he hated it for himself. He even wanted to know what his wife cooked for his meals in advance but surprised her with gifts such as a key to a mansion all done to perfection

I also liked how he looked and talked in person. He was so strange himself. I believe, a number of short flick were made for tv as well? They were chilling. I remember one where this geeky bank teller who only wanted to read books got trapped in a vault during a nuclear war. He survived only to break his glasses so he wasn't able to read. Not sure it that one was Hitchcock or not but those introductions of what was to come on the tv screen was scary.

Well, psycho, I'm not the expert on Hitchcockian thrillers, but I do like a good Hitchcock flick from time to time. Like you, I'm not all that hep on Psycho. I prefer Mel Brooks' version, High Anxiety, to Psycho. And I also like the USA Networks' comedy, 'Psych', but it is not at all Hitchcockian. I'm not a big fan of that other popular Hitchcock film, 'The Birds'. I suspect that this is because of the ongoing feud I have with birds using my automobile as a depository for their sanitation issues. I do like the Hitchcock style of suspense, however, and much prefer this method of movie making to slasher and gore type films. My favorite part of watching Hitchcock movies is that they are are favorite of my partner and I know that when Hitchcock is on this is a great time that I will have to cuddle and hug and get in a few smooches as we watch the film together.
