The master of suspense and mystery. What movies of his are in your collection?
Or which ones are you hoping to add?

1. Rope and Strangers On A Train |
|
BTW: Strangers On A Train also featured Marion Lorne... most of us will know her as Aunt Clara on Bewitched.

6. those are two of my favorites... |
|
I'd forgotten that Marion Lorne was in that. I also love Jessie Royce Landis as Cary Grant's mother in "North by Northwest".

Gadzooks and Oh My Stars! You pick 'em for a poll, and we will vote. Too many to choose from! (OK, Rear Window, North by Northwest, Rebecca, Notorious - Gaack! See what I mean?)

5. I Know... Too Many For A Poll... Too Many Hurt Feelings If... |

I left out someone's absolute favorite and only polled on the ones they hated.

You can do better than that. This is too wide open; it's your thread, you can always add the ubiquitous "other." Stand up! Post some choices, here!

10. Yes, I Know. I'm Sorry... |

So I changed the question. It's no longer a contest... just a way to compare notes.
-- Allen
P.S. Besides, once a thread has been created as a normal thread (like this one) you can't convert it into a poll-thread. Sigh.

13. Hah! Not good enough. You owe us a poll. "Bewitched" episode? |
|
As penance, how about a poll about our favorite "Bewitched" episode? I liked so many, but the one where Darren was pregnant may have been my favorite. OK, time to do your time! (Please! No Dick Sargent episodes! A fine actor, but he was no Dick York).

17. No! And no soup for you! Dick York did it better. |
|
Yeah, they were both befuddled, but Dick York was so much less bitter about it all. Still trying to get over my crush on Elizabeth Montgomery here, after nearly 40 years.

8. Damn! Too many to choose from! |

I have had the pleasure of seeing all of his films on the big screen, which can be a revelation. When I was seeing a double feature of Notorious and Suspicion, I finaly understood why they called it the "silver" screen.
My personal pick is Vertigo, for many reasons -- being shot in San Francisco (you can still drive by Jimmy's apartment, it looks the same!), the incredible use of color, the wonderfully twisted necrophilia angle, Kim Novaks eyebrows... :)
Another one I never miss seeing is To Catch a Thief, there's just so much to love. And I just watched Rear Window this afternoon on TCM, another favorite of mine.
We just don't have directors like that today...

Hitchcock's cameos in his movies were legendary.
So how did he do a cameo in "Lifeboat?"

12. His picture is on a newspaper they are reading in the boat. |

It's an ad for weight loss if I recall.
