The Grey - Really enjoyed this. It's one of those movies that needs to be seen on a very big screen with a great sound system. The plane crash at the beginning is worth the admission by itself. Dark, gritty, great pace, and some really evil bad guys! Liam Neeson is terrific.

Saw One for the money with the wife this weekend. Best I can say is that it didn't totally suck and I got brownie points for going. A couple of times I did get a grin on my face during the funny parts while most of the audience was really laughing. Of course, most of the audience was women and I think they had all read the book and it influenced them.Comment

The 39 Steps
Rebecca
The Lady Vanishes
Suspicion
Shadow of a Doubt
Notorious
Strangers on a Train
Dial M for Murder
Rear Window
To Catch a Thief
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Psycho
The Birds

Not necessarily a Hitchcock 'fan', but '39 Steps' and 'The Lady Vanishes' are 2 of my favorites. You forgot 'Foreign Correspondent' and 'The 3rd Man', also 2 of his greatest and also 2 of my favorites.
I also heard recently that 'The Birds' was based on a real incident that occurred in California where the birds ate something that made them sick and a little crazy for a while. But it had nothing to do w the birds having animosity towards humans.Comment

North by Northwest is one of my favorite movies and have loved the others I've seen. I picked up a boxed set at a garage sale with a bunch of his movies but I've yet to watch... Maybe when the kids are bit older I'll have some time to myself lolOriginally posted by Mithrandir View PostComment

Saw this too with the significant other. Seeing Katherine Heigl partially naked in the shower was an added bonus. Not the worst thing I have ever seen but as average as you can get.Originally posted by dslaw View PostComment

Drive was pretty good and Gosling was very impressive, but what was up with the music?If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Had a very '80s feel to it, everything from the opening credits, to the music, to the look of the movie.Originally posted by DMT View PostComment

He is the ONLY director from the Production Code days whose movies resemble the mentality that we see in films today. All other pre-1967 U.S. films look and feel like they are from a different world. (That is not to say that they are all bad.)Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostOriginally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

The Third Man was directed by Carol Reed, starring Orson Welles..not Hitchcock. And it a great great movie..Originally posted by rhd View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

You say that like it's a good thing. Give me a classic from the 30-50's over today's movies all day..every day...Originally posted by Erik View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

When I went through my classic movie phase I found Hitchcock to be one of my favorites. The only one I saw and didn't love was Vertigo, but North by Northwest, Rebecca, Rear Window, and Strangers on a Train were all excellent.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostComment
