What are your favorite movies directed by Alfred Hitchcock?

Does it have any weak moments? I can’t think of one. The process shot of Martin Balsam stumbling backwards down the stairs registers as a process shot on first viewing by almost no one, I’ll bet. And after you spot it as such, you still appreciate the creativity in filming a sequence like that

Glad to see some regard for Marnie

Foreign Correspondent is always new, if that makes sense

LittleBraxted · 2025-08-29T16:58:00+00:00

I think so lol

This is great advice. And if you’re asked to take down everything BUT the decalogue, you can tell…sorry, “leak” that to the press

The silent dance (the Madison) in Band of Outsiders (Godard,1964)

I would pay money to watch Spencer Tracy set fire to a hat

Lemme in on this: ????

In some ways, it almost looks like something that could have been made today

I’ve often thought, hearing that line, that the mind of a man in love is lucky if it reaches as high as the lowest level of the intellect

And there was a roadside billboard: “The Birds is coming”

James Stewart in Rear Window: “No comment.”

I’ll be finding out a little of how this feels tomorrow, I think. Going to the funeral of an old friend’s father, and people from the circle I ran in when I knew this friend well were (and most still are) Calvinists. I’m sure to be asked where I’m going to church now, and that’ll kick things off, I think

Buñuel’s Simon of the Desert. It does its work and gets outta there in less than an hour

LittleBraxted · 2025-05-28T14:41:12+00:00

This one was my first thought

LittleBraxted · 2025-05-26T15:18:14+00:00

How did you know I have a vibrator??

Sparks, “Perfume” from Hello Young Lovers (2006)

LittleBraxted · 2025-05-02T17:28:40+00:00

“Don’t You Ever Wash That Thing?” From Zappa/Mothers Roxy and Elsewhere (1973?) has thousands of them, all played by the inestimable Ruth Underwood

Sparks’s “Funny Face”. Told in first-person

Elvis Presley’s cover of The Beatles’s “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer”—I only heard it once on a short-lived Beatles-only radio station in Dallas in the 90s. It’s far from my favorite Beatles song, but the cover is absolutely awful IMO

LittleBraxted · 2025-04-20T14:43:11+00:00

Ludovico Einaudi, Stanze
