<![CDATA[Favorite Hitchcock movie]]>@bernard brought up North by Northwest in @steve-miller 's travel thread; the last part of the movie is set on Mt Rushmore.

Mt Rushmore.... makes a great movie set!

Spoiler alert for anyone who never saw North by Northwest (I doubt there's anyone who has never seen it).

And later...

I highly recommend it. 5 stars. One of Hitchcock's best.

Got me thinking about which of Hitch's movies are my faves. To Catch a Thief is definitely number 1 on my list, followed by Notorious.

What is/are your favorite(s)?

A lot of Hitchcock's films are thriller/suspense rather than horror.

"Buckle your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" All About Eve is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.

Give me black and white any day.

I might even follow the films in chronological order.

With many exceptions made I'm sure.

I'm not 20.

Lol.

The Lady Vanishes
The 39 Steps
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Sabotage
Notorious

And more. I especially love the black and white films, so much atmosphere is created in B&W.

Rope is a special movie because it was filmed in one take. Due to the time limitations of a single reel of film, whenever they had to switch reels, the camera would zoom in to the back of someone which would create the opportunity for a break. With a new roll of film in the camera, it would zoom back out. From the viewer's perspective it's all seamless. But it's a bit macabre of a movie.

I've seen The Birds. No impression on me, although yesterday I did walk into plate glass and gently hit my head like a bird. 🐦 Gave me a good laugh.

I don't need to see Psycho twice.
