Tue, 23 Aug 2005 22:20:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pat28 - Hitchcock's favorite movie that he ever made was Shadow of a Doubt (1943). Most people regard Vertigo (1958) as his best film, or perhaps North by Northwest (1959) or Rear Window (1954). Some have a soft spot for Psycho (1960) or The Birds (1963), two of...

Sat, 10 May 2003 00:56:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DavidMac - Alfred Hitchcock has made some pretty effective thrillers in his day -- some of them are quite creepy and twisted, even for films made in the 1950’s, as was the case for Rear Window, Vertigo and The Wrong Man. Many elements of these films are not...

Sun, 20 Apr 2003 07:32:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author st_patrick - The 1950s were a great decade for Alfred Hitchcock. Hitch made such great films as "Rear Window" "Vertigo" and "North by Northwest", as well as some lesser but still good films like "The Trouble with Harry" and "To Catch a Thief". "Strangers on a...

Sat, 29 Mar 2003 11:30:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cripper - When the 1940s were coming to an end, Alfred Hitchcock had found himself in a bit of a hole. After having directed the successful romantic thriller, Notorious, Hitchcock was having a difficult time living up to the expectations that were being...

Wed, 12 Dec 2001 13:53:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tibullus - When someone mentions the name Alfred Hitchcock, what usually comes to people's minds is a fairly overweight man who made some movies that a lot of people really liked, usually in the thriller and horror genre.[1] He has been lauded by...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rfr - When you get on a train or a plane do you chat with the person near you? Maybe you do or maybe you bury your nose in a book. And what happens if the person starts talking to you? You’re probably polite, but a little standoffish. And what would you think...

mvie mu-1020292: Excellent

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 01:02:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Korova - The Master of Suspense brings us a story that isn’t quite as tense as some of his other works, but is very well done. It is classed as a thriller, but it is more of a drama until the last twenty minutes or so. It also has some huge laughs.

Wed, 25 Oct 2000 01:28:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Candice923 - I have never been so creeped out by a character in a film in my life. Perhaps that's because I am not a huge fan of horror or suspense films. In watching one Hitchcock film a week in my Hitchcock class at UAA, I have been exposed to a little...

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:02:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - OK, think about it for a while. I have other things I want to tell you about first anyhow. The novel was by Patricia Highsmith, and Alfred snuck the movie rights without making a ripple. Buying anonymously, he got the rights to this film for a mere...

mvie mu-1020292: Criss Cross! I'll do your murder, You do mine!

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 23:22:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ynmaeven - In my opinion, this movie is one of Alfred Hitchcock's finest works. Based on Patricia Highsmith's novel, Hitchcock has taken her story and turned it into one of the greatest thrillers of his career. This is an early film, made in 1951, and in black...

Thu, 23 Sep 1999 02:32:22 GMT

Almost always, these still-entertaining movies come from Alfred Hitchcock. Strangers on a Train is the memorable...
