[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 373271, member: 5079"] I have great appreciation for Hitchcock's films, although I'm not sure how much I really [I]enjoy[/I] them. I don't think I would turn on a Hitch movie just to entertain myself, in the way I would movies by Wilder, Mankiewicz or Preminger. I think Hitch's films were so stylized, arch and wry, that I don't have any emotional attachment to their experience. I'd probably watch HIGH ANXIETY before I watch any of that film's targets. And those of his films that I like the most tend to be his least archetypal: REBECCA (arguably more a Selznick film), LIFEBOAT, STAGE FRIGHT, MR. & MRS. SMITH. Several Hitchcock films are playing in theaters near me over the next few weeks: THE BIRDS; VERTIGO; NORTH BY NORTHWEST; and PSYCHO. I'll likely go to see the first and last of these. [/QUOTE]
