Hai hai. :rolleyes: :P

Another Hitchcock fan here. :wave: Though I love all the well known ones (Psycho, Notorious, Suspicion, Rear Window, Dial M For Murder, etc), I have to mention The Trouble With Harry. It's dark comedy and just darn hilarious.

It's also a book too. I have it, but never got around to reading it yet. :sweat:

Speaking of older movies, I find myself tuning into the TCM channel a lot. Hell, I even printed out the schedule and recorded certain movies. :sweat:

Awesome!

I don't know if I'd call myself a die-hard fan tho. I've studied Hitchcock to extreme extents all through university and so I think I understand him better as a director and creator as opposed to knowing him through his work, which, btw, is a slightly different understanding of the man. But because I respect him so, I've been trying to expose myself more to his movies. I'm getting there. Slowly. :D

GASP! When did Cori have negative points?!

Spoiler — click to reveal

I don't think I'm a die-hard fan, but I love his movies. I've never studied his works, but I imagine that taking courses on him would be interesting.

And you should try more of his movies! Which ones have you seen so far?

I probably have negative points from asking him for help all the time with DVD conversion and other technical stuff. :sweat:

And thanks! You're awesome too. :D

I think you can learn quite a bit by watching his movies with the commentary track (if available) turned on... A lot of the Criterion DVD releases have those extra audio tracks and they offer some great insights and observations on the films... :D

Watch Darjeeling Limited...it's funny....in the vain of Rushmore, The Aquatic life of Steve Zissou, and Lost in Translation.

That's what my brother says. I think his phrase was "It's crap piled upon more crap." :hehe:

I haven't seen it, but I love the first and second ones.
