I wish I got TCM.

Hitchcock made some great movies. “The Birds”, “Psycho”, and “Rear Window” were all classics.

Good evening. Our story tonight ...

[americas.best.days...]

Boy, you and me both. I haven’t had cable service for over 10 years now and that’s the only thing I miss. I’ve been able to catch it when I’ve traveled for work for 3 months at a time, but not recently. If they would stream it, I would pay for it.

Sanders of the River

"Sanders of the River" originally started as a project Alexander Korda assigned to be directed by Alfred Hitchcock, called "Wings of the Jungle". As it turned out, Hitchcock was only minimally involved in the earliest stages
The first Kenyan President had a bit part--still a relevant nightmare. .

[DIRTYSECRET]

I think “Rear Window” was the best. Most will say “Vertigo”.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

How many people here read the “Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators” series of books?

[Karl Spooner]

Man From the South was a good one. Steve McQueen with his real wife at the time.

[HoneysuckleTN]

How many people here read the “Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators” series of books?

Me! Loved them when I was a kid. They're on my list to collect the paperbacks when finances permit. Right now, only a few of the series are available to borrow at openlibrary.org.

Both very good and both with Jimmy Stewart. Other favourites Strangers on a Train, Notorious, North by Northwest, Shadow of a Doubt. All his movies are worth a look but some obviously better than others.

[americas.best.days...]

My faves are North by Northwest and Strangers on a Train.

[Karl Spooner]

Yup, North by Northwest. One of the best scenes of all time.

[P.O.E.]

Grew up checking these out of the school library:

My 11 year old grandson saw that clip on a preview and said wow. When we got home from the theater I handed him the DVD. He’s watched it about 3 times since. All of it. Then I showed him The Birds. Same thing.

Making Granny proud. I think young kids are starving to see good films. They’re just so conditioned to crap.

[Mears]

When my granddaughter was 10 or 11 I had her for a sleepover and we watched “Mrs. Miniver”.

She loved it and we watched it again the next day.

We also watched the 1946 “Black Beauty” and “How Green Was my Valley” the next time she came over.

I had seen all of those when I was around her age.

I love movies but you can’t beat the old classics.

[Karl Spooner]

I bet he would like the old Hitchcock tv shows. I know I did. So many of them were mesmerizing. Those were the days when you couldn’t get away with a crime on TV, too!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Be careful that you get the "profile" not "keyhole" version.

They changed it to some dork called Sebastian after AH died. They even went back and rewrote the earlier ones.

Reading those books made me want to live in California.

[CaptainK]

I think “Rear Window” was the best. Most will say “Vertigo”.

I love both movies. One isn't better than the other. They are both brilliant in their own way. Add "Notorious", "North by Northwest", and "Psycho" to my list of his greatest movies. I also have a soft spot for "Marnie" even though it's considered a disappointment.

That the greatest director never won an Oscar stains the Oscars forever.

[Enchante]

Also, “Vertigo” and “North by Northwest”.... love those.... and “To Catch a Thief”..... so many more.
