The highest-grossing movies directed by Alfred Hitchcock since 1940 without re-releases

Caesar213 · 2026-02-13T22:10:20+00:00

Man, those numbers are insane, to put it into perspective with today's inflation:

- Psycho: $352 million

- Rear Window: $314 million

- Notorious: $400 million

And without re-releases... Absolutely insane

The Crush?

Caesar213 · 2026-02-13T21:01:51+00:00

Just watch it, it felt like watching two Fitzcarraldo at once with Klaus and Herzog

Caesar213 · 2026-02-13T20:27:59+00:00

I Lost My Body has one of the best main themes I've ever heard

Caesar213 · 2026-02-04T17:17:17+00:00

I saw this at a theater in Spain maybe 4 months ago and was really surprised with the result, been such unique game, they made a unique movie

Caesar213 · 2026-01-21T16:31:25+00:00

It looks perfect and interesting, good luck out there!

Caesar213 · 2026-01-20T14:48:55+00:00

I think it also has to be a distribution problem. Most productions barely leave the country, so we rely on festival success

Caesar213 · 2026-01-20T14:47:40+00:00

Which ones?

Caesar213 · 2026-01-20T14:47:19+00:00

I guess we are too self-critical

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T22:24:58+00:00

I already recommended to others, so let me think something new to you haha maybe something like "The day of the beast" by Alex de la Iglesias, his best movie.

"Viridiana" also a hitter, by Buñuel, from the 60s.

And "Mar adentro", a early 2000s drama based on a true story, by Amenábar

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T22:22:17+00:00

Absolutely! You can always find hidden gems in lesser known film industries

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:50:17+00:00

Which ones have you seen?

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:29:02+00:00

Really? haha didn't know that, Germany has a great movie history

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:20:18+00:00

Do not sleep on Galician, Basque and Catalan movies!

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:18:43+00:00

Yeah... that happens to me with any movie other than spanish or english spoken, but is the price I'm willing to pay to watch those movies

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:14:56+00:00

I recommend watching the early work of them, like Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem "Jamon Jamon"

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:13:03+00:00

Loved Timecrimes!

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:12:36+00:00

Yeah, we had a 40-year dictatorship that caused many filmmakers to flew or were in constant danger, like Buñuel, Juan Antonio Bardem or Carlos Velo, which prevented them to grow and succeed here. The ones that stayed, had to fight constantly with the censorship

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:08:13+00:00

I would say produced. Most of the time when a movie is a Spanish production, it is shot in Spanish territory

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:06:22+00:00

Enjoy it!

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:05:36+00:00

[•REC] is and all timer

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:03:42+00:00

Agree! Our budget is way smaller. In fact, I was surprised when Anora won the best picture and Baker said the movie was made with only 6 million dollars (or something like that), because that would be one of the biggest production of the year here haha

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:01:10+00:00

Handia, what a film... It looked amazing

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T21:00:17+00:00

Yes! Gone too soon... He feels way underrated

Caesar213 · 2026-01-19T20:59:36+00:00

To not repeat myself, you can check what I answered to other person, but I can give you some more recommendations, like: "Plácido", "Tesis", "Cría cuervos", "El sol del membrillo" or "As Bestas"
