Vertigo and North by Northwest are my top 2. Rear Window falls right after that with Dial M for Murder and Psycho.

Vertigo is my favorite Hitchcock and Rear Window is #2 for me.

I like his other movies, but those two are significantly higher than the others.

Jimmy Stewart is awesome!

Kelly is trying to hook up with Jimmy the whole movie and he won't have any of it because he is so invested in what is going on across the street .

She is fine as hell.

Nice, that set pic up you sent was legit, I proceeded to read up and research exactly how they made the movie for 2 hours after you sent it

I wanted to like it, but didn't. Maybe I should watch it again.


The most interesting thing about Rope is it was shot in long takes. IIRC, each one was 10 minutes, which is as much film as a camera would hold at the time.

I loved Rear Window. I thought a better ending (yes, I'm giving advice to Hitchcock) would have been for Jimmy Stewart to have been wrong about the guy and has those events unfold.

The Man Who Knew Too Much has to be my favorite. When she's singing at the end, I was on the edge of my seat. Amazing movie.

She doesn't even look real. Like she's too perfect.
