A message from a dear reader.
Mitch from Columbus, Ohio wrote asking what my ranking of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies would be, that is after I mentioned “Saboteur” in the Norman Lloyd obit. Fair, but very difficult question. I’ve seen a total of 25 Hitchcock films, but ranking all of them seems like a real headache to me, hell, it’s already a frustrating task to come up with just his ten best … but I have.
1) Vertigo
2) Rear Window
3) Psycho
4) Shadow of Doubt
5) North By Northwest
6) Dial M For Murder
7) Rope
8) Frenzy
9) Notorious
10) The Birds
A review of Taylor Sheridan’s “Those Who Wish Me Dead” will be up later today. Oddly enough, there’s a lot of Hitchcockianism in that film. The master’s influence lives on.
