powell (and pressburger)

This outfit is my favourite thing about Vertigo:



Perfection.

Well now that opinion doesn't surprise me.

Here it is. Some of his early ones blur together in my mind, but I remember Downhill standing out, and Waltzes from Vienna (a biopic about Johann Strauss, strangely enough).

This list was a rough pass, I'm sure if I dwelt on it and revisited some, I'd make changes. Listed from favorite to least favorite.

Favorite Hitchcock

A list of 26 films compiled on Letterboxd, including North by Northwest (1959), Vertigo (1958), Rear Window (1954), The 39 Steps (1935) and The Birds (1963).

This is the list of somebody who watched a few famous Hitchcock films and then decided to embark on the project of watching as many as he could in chronological order. It’s the list of an autodidact who suddenly got around to Hitchcock.

That's literally what you did too

I mean, who else would watch Waltzes from Vienna before Psycho?

Yeah and I only got as far as 39 steps (plus the few of his later famous ones).

Craner loves Notorious because it has fascists and because he is himself notorious.

Catwoman meets Columbo.

Catwoman meets Columbo.

Don't be so basic.

Pussy Galore meets Dick Tracy?

[Clinamenic]

That dick tracy photo has "version's next avatar" written all over it!

 

[Clinamenic]

Pussy Galore meets Dick Tracy?

Believe it or not, I didn't intend to make a sexual reference with this particular coupling.

Just watched The Red Shoes. Wohlbrück's like a bloated Alain Delon playing 'Hedley Lamarr' from Blazing Saddles.

This is a perfect example of why so many people hate the internet.

 

[Clinamenic]

Not sure if Version is gonna recover from that one. He may just go jump in front of a train...

 

[Clinamenic]

But then at least, with the coverage on the tube, the telly, etc, we'll finally get a look at his face, a greeting from the Archivist from beyond the grave.

Because it allows you to read such precise comments you can never see the film the same way.
