I actually preferred Charles Laughton in The Paradine Case, I loved his performance in that. Robert Walker was Hitchcock's best villain, just watched Strangers on a Train again, it never gets old. Another favourite performance of mine is Cary Grant in Suspicion, he should have won the oscar for that, one of his best roles.

James Stewart and Kim Novak both deserved nominations for 'Vertigo.' Even though it didn't do too great at the Box Office, they give two of the best performances in film History (I'm a bit biased though, as 'Vertigo' is my favourite film.)

First episode I ever saw was 100 yards over the rim when I was eight years old back in 1972. Once Columbia House came out with the VHS series version I purchased the entire series. I watch every episode as the tapes came in. I may have watched those tapes once or twice and they disintegrated overtime. I we purchased a series now on DVD and anytime I get an inkling for the particular episode I watch it. It’s funny how you own the entireseries, uncut and still get glued to the marathon on TV. That usually cut out around 8 to 10 minutes for commercials. You know the plot so well you can figure out what part of the scenes are missing. One other thing to mention is if you watch closely the editing and of course, sometimes the effects are not put together very well. In a stop at Willoughby the very last scene where he goes to sleep and the conductor says this stop Willoughby you see the main character is wide awake ready to get off the train when he always was basically, either looking out the window or waking up as the old time conductor approached him. Nightmare at 20,000 feet you see the rain coming down on the wing almost perfectly straight when in real life if an aircraft is moving through the air, the water would not hit the wing at that angle. But my all-time favorite other than all the time travel episodes is the arrival. This is the one about the mysterious airplane that everybody sees different color interior and at the end no longer exists.

Out of Hitchcock films I’ve watched: Psycho - Anthony Perkins Strangers on a Train - Robert Walker The Man Who Knew Too Much - Doris Day Vertigo - Kim Novak Rear Window - James Stewart North by Northwest - Cary Grant Dial M for Murder - Grace Kelly Notorious - Ingrid Bergman The first 2 are in my top 3 favourite villains and in my top 3 favourite acting performances

What's your opinion on Cary Grant's performance in North by Northwest? I think Roger Thornhill is one of the funniest character in a Hitchcock movie.

Glad to hear Laughton getting some love. I recently watched Family Plot and I fell in love with Barbara Harris. (Bruce Dern was great as well)

Excellent. You're an expert. Laughton and Miles are great choices and I agree. The Wrong Man was the first movie I saw from her (yes before Psycho), and I was very impresssed. Because of Laughton I care about the story and the relationships in Jamaica Inn. Ray Milland is almost on the same villain-level as Perkins. Bates might not even be a villain :-). I liked Stewart more in The Man who knew too much and Vertigo, although Rear Window might have been more difficult. Grace Kelly's performance is fantastic in Rear Window. Stewart wouldn't be so interesting without her. Cary Grant in Suspicion is worth to mention. And another villain: Barry Foster in Frenzy. I completely disagree with only one of your choices. I love Rope but I don't like Dall and Granger. Dall is alright but a little bit one-dimensional and Granger is overacting. Great videos. I like your taste a lot.

Agree with you on a good number of these. Especially, Anthony Perkins. I watched Jamaica Inn last year and I don’t remember too much of it except for Laughton and young Maureen O’Hara. Might rewatch it soon.

Thanks for this great video ❤ C.Laughton is excellent in ,Jamaica Inn' 👍 One of my favourite actors of all time Another Oscar-worthy Performance for me: Doris Day in ,The man who knew too much' Greatings from Germany 🙋

Algorithm boosting comment. Hitchcock movies in general got snubbed by Oscar again and again. That none of his movies in the 50s was nominated for Best Picture is just insane.

7:49. Yes!

It would be interesting to see you rank the 9 performances that were nominated.

You’re so alike 😱😮

I recently watched Sidney Lumet's "Fail Safe" I'm glad I bought it. It's a masterpiece.

This is incredible!! I love how not only did you make all of the cameos into the story, but they all rhyme too!! Love the paper clip game too haha! I’m glad Hitch is with me in trading things from a paper clip 🥹

Three Hitchcock films were inspired by Daphne DuMaurier works: Jamaica Inn, Rebecca, and The Birds.

The Lodger really works as a silent film.

I've seen some really obscure Hitchcock movies. I couldn't make it through Juno and the Paycock, which also he did not want to make. It was horrible.

one film or short story I saw 40 years or more ago. Not sure if it was english usa 1950s 1960s. Very Alien looking creatures. A man lies in a hospital bed, has a bedside light projected onto a wall. There are transparent Amoeba typ creatures projected onto the wall. They are talking to him, asking him to join them, a nurse comes into the ward and knocks the light to one side, so the images of the creatures are lost. Later on he has an ear operation and can't hear them any more and goes back to his wife. I have never seen it since and can't remember what it is called.

Thanks for the recs seems like good hull and quality recs

Great video! I didn't watch all his movies but some of my faves are Spellbound,Dial m for murder, Strangers on a train and Lady vanishes was surprisingly fun and interesting! Also Notorious was tense and creepy af!

WHEN psycho was in Theaters for the first time in 1961 half the audience walked out after 20 minutes watching it!! So its hardly his best movie!!

Buddy are you so stupid or what!!???? How could you do this!!!?? VERTIGO is his best ever movie!! Nothing beats VERTIGO!! You even wear the shirt VERTIGO SHIRT!! So deep inside you know its Hitchcock's BEST!!! For some real stupid reason many pick PSYCHO as his best and number 1 movie!! Well its not!! PSYCHO can be second, third or even 4th best but hardly NUMBER 1!!!!!

BIRDS is a great movie only for one reason; its just impossible to make a scary movie called BIRDS!! Its a joke!! But Hitch got away with it!! Its a Master Piece!!

Re: Mr. and Mrs. Smith. B/W films have a specific sense of humor? I have never heard anyone say that before. It makes as much sense as saying color films have a specific sense of humor. Wide-screen films have a specific sense of humor. Films made in 1994 have a specific sense of humor. What does that mean? P.S. Before making a video you should learn how to pronounce Peter Lorre's name.

Here are some other less appreciated Hitchcock films, that i would love to see on the Criterion Collection Blackmail Saboteur To Catch a Thief The Trouble With Harry

Awesome job with the editing! Can never go wrong with a Hitchcock marathon/month!

Jack Klugman and Billy Mumy realy bonded during shooting In Praise of Pip and remained good friends up until Klugman's death in 2012. It was Mumy who delivered eulogy at Klugman's funeral, which was Jack's specific wish. Mumy's father very rarely visited the set and, unlike so many child actors parents of the time, never interfered in his son's productions. One day when he did visit as it was shot on pier that he and Billy visited regularly, he was introduced to Jack Klugman, who approached him and introduced himself, and gave him a speech on how father son relationship is extremely important. Mumy's father claimed for many years that he was very moved and impressed by the encounter with Klugman. Interesting trivia is that 32 years later Klugman appeared in movie Dear God, which co-starred Bill's son Seth.

I added two John Sayles films to my collection during this sale: Matewan and Lone Star. Sayles is a very under-rated director/writer, and I was happy to acquire those two great films. Chris Cooper is fantastic in both, and Matthew McConaughey shines in Lone Star as does Kris Kristofferson. I will have to check out your recommendations next sale.

❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️

UPDATE 7/29/2024: I just watched The Stalking Moon for the first time and it cracks the top 10 at #8, kicking The Paradine Case out of the Top 10 and landing one spot above Mirage.

Father Goose and Walk Don't Run

Great list- many I agree with a few disagree but that's cool. I also thought Printer's Devil was a good longer episode and to Serve Man is over-rated somewhat. Howling Man, the Silence, Masks and Old Man in the Cave are great too.

Good stuff but some dubious judgements here (“The Lady Vanishes” being relegated to the mediocre is the most obvious). I give you credit, however, for not having read any of the huge body of Hitchcock film analysis. I wouldn’t chase a career in film criticism, though.

Thank you for the list. Now I know where to start my binge watching. I have seen a few episodes but certainly not most.

You can't show your little sister "Psycho" and not show her "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".

Nice haul bud!

Excellent choice on Le Samouraï and Le Cercle Rouge. Enjoy! 😉 And if you are thinking of more Alain Delon, I would too suggest Le Piscine and The Leopard. The latter had Burt Lancaster in the lead role.

I Wanna Hold Your Hand is a silly fun movie with a shocking amount of licensed Beatles music for Fab Four fans. A very enjoyable watch from the future brains behind Back to the Future and Forrest Gump too.

You are going to LOVE Le Samouraï, my friend. I think the 4K cover is a lot better. Also, I would love to know what you think of Le cercle rouge! I’ve been meaning to watch that for some time. But I’m limiting myself a lot more on blind buys these days. Great pickups!

I was tepid about Nicole Kidman as an actress until I saw her in The Others. What a phenomenal performance that was, and what a wonderful movie. I've been a big Kidman fan ever since.

I also prefer Harold Lloyd to Chaplin, being The Kid Brother and Girl Shy my favourites, but I love City Lights. The Others is amazing, as it is The Innocents, an obvious influence.

Elaine May's The Heartbreak Kid (1972).

I love Chaplain's City Lights.

3:15 How did you not mention that Buster Keaton is in this one?

I know I'm late to the party, but here are my two cents: 1) Hidden fortress. 2) A federico fellini film (or the whole box set). 3) Speaking of box sets, the Bruce Lee collection. 4) pan's labyrinth. 5) The others. 6) Samurai movie(s) from a director other than kurosawa. 7) A Martin scorcerse film. 8) a western: 3/10 to Yuma, red river, the gunslinger, 40 guns, stagecoach. 9) etc, etc

One eyed jacks one of my favorite's really enjoyed special features fugitive kind with Marlon was really good also it was a blind buy for me

Loved this, thank you!

So glad “the Others” made it!
