1930 Under Siege 2 and the Paycock

I thought John Ford did this one?

I've only seen 11 of these all the way through (The Wrong Man not included), but this:

I watched The 39 Steps for the first time earlier this year, and could not believe how bad it was. Even for a movie of it’s time, I thought it was pretty awful. I was surprised, because I always hear that thrown around as one of his classics – why? Was it a gigantic hit, is that why people always talk about it or something? I don’t get it.

That being said, I saw about 2/3 of The Lodger on TCM once last year, not realizing it as a Hitchcock, and loved it. I’ve been meaning to Netflix it to see it all the way through. Good stuff.

Top three for me: The Birds, Rope, and Lifeboat, in that order.

Maybe not worth all the acclaim, but "bad"? I don't think it's bad. It is a reeeeeally early on the list too.

Boy, I like Hitchcock but I never got the Birds.*  Time to rewatch I guess.

My favorite is Rear Window.

I think Hitchcock pretty much invented the hotstreak right there.

top 3 for me

1. Rope - only Hitchcock could pull off a thriller in one room shot in all long takes.
2. Psycho - for obvious reasons, but really for me it's Anthony Perkins' performance. so calmly creepy
3. The Trouble with Harry - one of Hitch's not so often seen comedys and it's dry and dark and hilarious

It's hard to rank one's I don't like when his early stuff is so different (Rich and Strange), but I think To Catch a Thief is overrated. It misses out for not having a good murder.   For non-murderous Hitchcock I like The Wrong Man.

I've seen

Dial M for Murder
Psycho
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)
Rebecca
Suspicion
The 39 Steps
North by Northwest
The Trouble with Harry
The Birds
Rope
Notorious
Saboteur
Lifeboat
Shadow of a Doubt
To Catch a Thief
Vertigo
Marnie
The Wrong Man
Spellbound

Psycho, Vertigo, and North by Northwest are all my favorites.

I'm surprised that there's a lot of Birds-lovers. That's probably my least favorite.

I haven't watched too much Hitchcock but I did watch Alfred Hitchcock Presents a ton when I was a kid on Nick at Nite. Once Netflix comes to the 360 I'm going to watch all of those because I think a lot of the seasons are on the instant queue.

My favorite Hitchcock movie and it's not even close: The Stewart/Day Man Who Knew Too Much. That's one of my favorite movies of all time.
