1.North By Northwest [1959] starring: Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Jessie Royce Landis, Leo G. Carroll directed by: Alfred Hitchcock June 01, 2006

Roger Thornhill (Grant) is mistaken for another man by a group of foreign spies and after a few unfortunate events, finds himself on the run. North by Northwest is recognized as one of Alfred Hitchcock's finest films and with the adrenaline soaked narrative and a great central performance it is easy to see why. Cary Grant (Charade) delivers a sensational portrayal of advertising executive Roger Thornhill, a simple man who is mistaken for someone else. Thornhill is wonderfully sarcastic, very charismatic and plaudits must go to Grant who has created an original hero, an ordinary man who turns himself into an action hero within a short space of time in Alfred Hitchcock's wonderfully realistic world. Hitchcock's ... Read More:

The one that got the Best Picture Oscar...even if it was David O Selznick who picked it up as producer. It remains one of his most popular features, especially with women by all accounts, although Germaine Greer isn't a fan. This was Hitch's first Hollywood film and is a brooding atmospheric film that takes a great novel (which was normally something Hitchcock would avoid like the plague, arguing that if a novel was too good, how could he possibly improve on it) and makes it into a film that is just as good, if not better. Joan Fontaine makes a compelling "Second Mrs De.Winter" and whilst Laurence Oliver can't quite drop his "luvvy" acting style to make the role as Maxim De Winter equally as compelling, it's fair to say that he does ...

3.The 39 Steps [1935] starring: Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle, Peggy Ashcroft directed by: Alfred Hitchcock August 13, 2001

Hitchcock always used to say that he saw no point in adapting an excellent book for one of his films because if a novel was so good, what could he do to improve upon it? As a result, in the 80 years since it's release there must have been a lot of disappointed people who have bought John Buchan's book on the strength of this film. For all intents and puposes, Hitchcock's version has become the one that all the others are judged on. Robert Donat is superb as Richard Hannay, a man who ends up on the run when a spy, whom he had only met that evening, ends up dead in his flat. Hannay ends up fleeing to Scotland, determined to pass on the message about the 39 steps. Along the way he picks up Pamela, another superb turn from ... Read More:

4.Hitchcock DVD Collection - Dial M For Murder / I Confess / Stage Fright / The Wrong Man / Strangers On A Train / North By Northwest starring: Ray Milland, Montgomery Clift, Marlene Dietrich, Henry Fonda, Farley Granger directed by: Alfred Hitchcock November 08, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £61.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £17.48 You Save: £44.51 (72%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £14.80
North by Northwest is one of Hitchcock's great thrillers. Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint star. The mistaken identity plot plays well to Grants strengths as the man confused by the insistence of others that he is George Kaplan, the mysterious spy. The balance between thriller and comedy is very well judged. The look of this movie is the key to its success along with the many set pieces. The frantic struggle of Grant against the hood's attempts to pour a bottle of scotch down his throat conveys real violence and panic. I Confess is better remembered for its star, Montgomery Clift, than as one of Hitchcock's great movies but it is still powerful stuff. The theme is a strong one that has been copied and adapted elsewhere. Clift's character has to wrestle with his ... Read More:

5.Rear Window [1954] starring: James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Georgine Darcy, Wendell Corey, Thelma Ritter directed by: Alfred Hitchcock October 17, 2005

I don't really have anyhting to say about this film but, having just rewatched it, I do feel like adding to the praise. It's such a good film. Mesmerising. The complex set is ingenious. James Stweart is wonderful. Grace Kelly is gorgeous. The mystery reels you in and the suspense is built very skillfully, leading to a truly nail-biting climax. I like the clever way the neighbours' lives reflect the lives of Jeff and Lisa. Beautiful (very colourful) restoration, too.

Vertigo is a well chosen word for the atmosphere of this film. San Francisco detective Scottie (James Stewart) chases a suspect on the rooftops of the buildings, he slips and barely holds on the rain gutter of one building. Another policeman comes to his rescue but he slips and gets killed after falling down. Scottie is deeply affected from this experience and he resigns from the force to open up his own detective agency. One friend of his hires him to guard his wife. What from? Evil spirits that engulf her! Funny enough Scottie does not believe in heresy but once he focuses on the case he is deeply moved with the situation. The wife of his friend spends hours at a certain museum staring at the same portrait of an aristocrat woman who died a century ago. She imitates her life, even her ... Read More:

7.The Birds [1963] starring: Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, Veronica Cartwright directed by: Alfred Hitchcock October 17, 2005

I think the best thing about The Birds is that it is directed by Alfred Hitchcock, to me anything with his name fronting it is scary. Tippi Hedren stars as an attractive woman who moves to a small town somewhere in the U.S. For no given reason 'the birds' start behaving wildly, pecking people's eyes out & doing all those things we know birds are capable of but don't expect them to do. Amongst all this there is a blossoming romance between Hedren & Rod Taylor. In contrast with most horror movies made in this era it is quite scary, there is more blood than most cinema goers of that decade would have been used to. What I didn't like about the film was that there is no real reason for the birds acting so bizarrely; why all of a sudden do they start praying on children, ... Read More:

One of the greatest movies from the 1930s! Margaret Lockwood stars as a passenger on a train who is befriended by an elderly lady (Dame May Whitty) after receiving a bang on the head. The plot thickens when Miss Froy (Whitty) goes missing, but no one on the train will admit to ever having seen her. Lots of suspense in this, and not a boring moment! This can be watched over and over and still remains as fresh as the day it was made! This classic suspense movie will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time! Includes a galaxy of stars, with some outstanding performances - particularly those of Catherine Lacey (the nun), Linden Travers, Dame May Whtty and of course Lockwood herself. Also stars a young Googie Withers. Fabulous!

Some people are inclined to slate 'Suspicion' as a result of the ending, which is often deemed anticlimactic. I beg to differ: the story is solid, the cast is stellar, the suspense is engaging: for fans of Hitchcock, who could ask for anything more? Without giving too much of the plot away, Lina Laidlaw (Joan Fontaine) marries penniless Cary Grant (Johnny Aysgarth). Various clues from Johnny convince Lina that he is plotting murder, not only of his friends, but of Lina herself. The climax consists of the original "unsteady drive in a car along a steep cliff" and I maintain that from beginning to end, 'Suspicion' is a true nail-biter (especially during the classic scene where Grant serves her an eerie-looking glass of milk that may or may not be poisoned)! Impressive Hitchcock-ian touches are evident ... Read More:
