I think we need to go one at a time or else it will just be a random thread and people will miss some of them, no?

Michael should let us know when he's ready for the next director as he started this thread

It is totally cool...to be honest it was meant to be a random thing where people could post whatever and others could respond whenever. I wasn't sure how else to do it without creating individual topics on each person.

OK proceed as before then

Andy

I think it is because so many people I have come across think Paths is "dated & depressing" but I think it is terrific. 2001, because many these days just seem to think it is strange & I worked on this for MGM UK & loved it since day one (for those who may be interested it was a hard sell), so I think I was trying to politically correct. But should of remembered on this board it is a friendly place & it is okay to like or dislike things. Also, I find I wander back to this for many repeat viewings, because i enjoy them so much.

While I have seen nearly all of Hitchcock's films, I have to limit myself to stuff to the period of 1940 to 1976.

Best: Rear Window
Worst: I don't know...lol...I don't even remember what TOPAZ, UNDER CAPRICORN, or FRENZY were about. I can't answer this one...I would have to go back and watch those films again.
