I read somewhere that Hitchcock was taken by Tippi or rather obsessed with her. And also, maybe Grace Kelly?Marnie also passed me by. Although you should Google Hitchcock and Hedren's personal history. It's bizarre at best!
Rebecca is excellent. As is the book.
He took obsession to another level with Miss Hedren!I read somewhere that Hitchcock was taken by Tippi or rather obsessed with her. And also, maybe Grace Kelly?
I think he was a borderline psychopath.He took obsession to another level with Miss Hedren!

The Baffling Cruelty of Alfred Hitchcock
A new book examines why the director was so stringent with—and sometimes even sadistic toward—his female leads.www.theatlantic.com
Austin Powers is definitely on the list. Witty, original, and hilarious AFI must give Austin Powers a shoutout. I was reading some thoughts about it not being funny anymore or never being funny. etc. It is free on YouTube for some reason or the link hasn't been found yet, so I watched again. It's still hilarious. Just the right amount of cringe. The fembot scene didn't fail to crack me up.
The dramatic stare after the dealer says 5 is another scene I have to watch again and again after I watch it the first time.Austin Powers is definitely on the list. Witty, original, and hilarious AF
I too like to live dangerouslyThe dramatic stare after the dealer says 5 is another scene I have to watch again and again after I watch it the first time.![]()

Goodness gracious —it’s from the 30s! I am happy to watch Charlie, though.Make Way for Tomorrow crept into my Top 20. Don't let the year intimidate you, it's a hauntingly beautiful movie.

Brosnan is actually my favorite Bond even though I grew up with Craig.You know it’s funny that you like all the Piers Bronson Bond films just like me?
I should have mentioned World War Z in my list! Highly underrated.
I still feel I am forgetting some of the big ones.Oblivion is a good shout. Great soundtrack from M83.
Mine too but my sister is much more with Craig. I just found Brosnan more subtle and funny whereas I found Craig way too serious.Brosnan is actually my favorite Bond even though I grew up with Craig.
Didn't like how Bond was portrayed as old and fragile in Skyfall but he was only just getting started really. Should have saved that for later.Mine too but my sister is much more with Craig. I just found Brosnan more subtle and funny whereas I found Craig way too serious.
Love the pirates trilogy. They should have stopped after the third one. But money talks.I forgot Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Absolute gold and freakin hilarious!
Yes, agree—Casino Royale was superb. Bond movies used to be fun but with Craig in the lead, it’s gone somewhat downhill since then. I feel it has lost its essence somewhere along the way.Didn't like how Bond was portrayed as old and fragile in Skyfall but he was only just getting started really. Should have saved that for later.
Casino Royale is amazing though. Can’t take that away from him.
