agent 47 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Well, we have threads for Michael Mann, Star Wars, James Bond and such, but how can a film fanatic forum not have a thread dedicated to the greatest suspense director of all time? (A little oversight on my part, sorry!)Well, anything you want to post on him and his films, you have a place to do it!

Administrators timm525 Posted October 3, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I'd say out of that list, Psycho is the most known. It is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators KaeptnCaipi Posted October 3, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I like Vertigo, The birds, Psycho, North by northwest or the Man who knew too much.Did you know that Alfred Hitchcock had a cameo in all of his films?

Administrators timm525 Posted October 3, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Yes, I knew that part. Were any on them ever filmed in color or were they all B&W? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frey Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think The Birds was in color. Haven't seen it in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolineUK Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 My favourites are Rear Window and North by North West. Quite a few of his later films were in colour but Psycho was definitely in black and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent 47 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Out of all his fims, I have to say Notorious and Psycho are my favorites, but I love just about all the work of his I've seen except for some of his early works.North by Northwest, Vetigo, Rear Window, Dial M for Murder, Topaz, The Birds, To Catch a Thief, The Man Who Knew Too Much ('55), Rope and Marnie were all filmed in color, I'm pretty sure his late sixties/early seventies films were too.

(It's about 1.66 I belive for The Birds)Tippi is a blonde, if you liked her in The Birds, you should also try Marnie, which also stars Sean Connery, he starred in the film in between Bond films.
