Heidi, I like The Birds too! Do you know who they are casting in the new movie and when it will be released? I don't think they can top the original. It will be interesting to see though.

I love just about everything he did. I saw the Birds when I was a child and was mortified for years of birds. Awesome movie.

I really like Rebecca I think it was called. If I remember correctly the original had Sir Laurence Olivier in it from 1940.

I would love to have every movie he made on DVD.

Rebecca and The Birds are great! I also love 'Marnie'. It has Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery in it. North by Northwest is a good one, too. And Psycho! It is too hard to pick a fave from AH.

To be honest, though, I haven't seen many others.

That one where Jimmy Stewart sat in his window with binoculars spying on all the neighbors. What was the name of that movie?

Rear Window! That's right, now I remember. That was a great movie, very tense.

My all time favorite is North by Nortwest with Cary Grant. Vertigo and Psycho are other great flicks. Psycho still scare me to this day!

I was never big on The Birds and every once in awhile someone in my building feeds the seagulls in the backyard. There are birds flying around everywhere! Reminds me of the movie...*shivers*

Did you know that he made a cameo appearance in most of his movies?

My favorite Hitchcock film would be Psycho or Rear Window. But I also enjoyed Rope and The Man Who Knew Too Much (because I'm a Doris Day fan wink ) Honestly, I love all his films. He is one of my favorite directors.

I love Rear Window. That was so intense I loved it. I thought Birds was a funny movie, sorry I don't know why. You should also check out his television show. There are some good stories too.

Yeah I love Rear Window too though it always seemed to me a bit silly that none of the people in the story drew their curtains except the villain and the "lovebirds".

I'm just coming on deck as editor of mysterymovies. Love to talk Hitchcock. I'm a psychologist and have theories about most of them. Right now, I'm struggling to get a picture on my profile and I love your pic with the dog.

Later.

I love Hitchcock. I haven't seen his movies in years, but when I was growing up, in the 60's, I watched all of his movies religiously. My favorite to was The Birds and Psycho, however I enjoyed every single one.

Hi,
I'm the new BellaOnline mystery movies editor and I'm answering messages. I love Hitchcock too and agree on the very good televsion series. My sister and I watched them together and scared ourselves to death. Also with the Twilight Zone. I still skip over a Twilight Zone re-run if it's near sleepy time.
I'm a psychologist and a mystery writer from Texas.

Hi,
I'm the new editor on mystery movies. I know, the "windows" of importance seemed very large, too. You can see in Rear Window, how mysteries were switching from a "stage" format to realism.
Ever see Frenzy?

I would like to record the following salient features which in my humble opinion makes it the best Hitchcock movie: 1. The Nordic beauty Ingrid Bergman appears in a very unusual role as a psychiatrist, she looks as attractive wearing spectacles than other lesser actresses look without spectacles. 2. Handsome hunk Gregory Peck is also in an equally unusual role as an amnesiac doctor. 3. The flowering of the romance between the amnesiac patient and the psychiatrist is depicted in the most elegant fashion. 4. The skiing scene in the movie is perhaps one of the first such scenes to be shown on the silver screen, and needless to add, is breathtaking. 5. The surrealistic interventions at the instance of Salvador Dali make it stand heads and shoulders above any other suspense movie. 6. The scene where Ingrid Bergman melts into the arms of Gregory Peck repeating " It's nothing to do with love, nothing at all", is my favorite romantic scene from a movie. 7. The twist in the tale provided at the end in trademark Hitchcock fashion, is really the fitting climax of the movie. Overall, I rate it as the best and greatest Hitchcock movie for its seductive blending of romance, suspense and psychiatry. [url=http://www.flashpapers.com]Term Papers[/url]

My favorite Hitchcock movie hands down is the birds. I watched this movie as a child and was terrified of birds into my adulthood. Psycho is a good one but I don't think anything can top the sheer terror that the birds delivers.

My favorite Hitchcock movie is Rope. This movie seems to be just one shot running 80 minutes; actually, there are 10 shots, arranged so they appear to be one. (At the other extreme, Hitchcock's The Birds has 1360 edits.) Rope concerns two university students who strangle a third student, stuff his body into a cedar chest, then use the chest as the buffet at a party.
