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?
‘
saw one of my hitchcock favorites for yet another time
a psychological thriller
that never gets old
but does continue to get creepier.

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.
