All 52 of Sir Alfred Hitchcock’s feature films ranked

 

one of my all-time fav directors, (though not fav humans), alfred hitchcock, was born on this day 125  years ago.

above is a comprehensive list of all of his 52, films, some obscure, ranked in order.

while i agree with most of rankings,

‘the shadow of a doubt,’

ranked #2 in this list, is my personal #1,

it utterly terrified me, and still does. 

do you have a personal favorite?

“i’m a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.”

strangers dangers.

saw one of my hitchcock favorites for yet another time

a psychological thriller

that never gets old

but does continue to get creepier.

“i’m a typed director. if i made cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.”

Standard

one of my happiest ways to spend a relaxing day

with coffee, pajamas, music,

 and a full string of one of my favorite director’s films.

always good for a dark humor laugh

but more often than not,

a scream.

 

“for me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”
