Revisiting Match Cut Directors Consensus - Alfred Hitchcock

[dreamdead]

Throughout the year I will be going back and re-cataloguing the director consensus threads that were lost at the old site. This is being done because the member list of the old site has seen decent turnover since these threads were first done. Each thread will be fairly continuously updated, so any new viewings can be added to an old consensus (even if the results have already been posted) and I'll try to update the results as soon as I can.

First up, let's revisit via rankings Alfred Hitchcock, shall we. As in the other consensus threads, please list the director's work from earliest to most recent.

where's the other thread? I haven't seen any more films since we've done this last and I want to copy and paste my scores.

The Birds > Notorious

[Ezee E]

Seen a ton of Hitchcock, yet I have a ton still waiting to be seen. Outside of Allen, can't think of a director that has that many movies.

The Coen's are getting there.

[Ezee E]

For the record, Rear Window is the only one that made the Hall of Fame before with a 9.207.

The Birds > Notorious

That's an interesting wrong opinion.

Spielberg's the only one that comes to mind for me.

Takashi Miike. Yoji Yamada. Michael Curtiz. Steven Soderbergh is getting there. Lots of studio system Hollywood directors.

John Ford made tons of movies.

The Coen's are getting there.I don't think any director will ever approach the output of what Hollywood studio directors put out in the 20's - 40's. A lot of those guys made over 100 films. Woody Allen has made pretty much a film a year for the last 40 years, and he has still only made a third the films John Ford made.

Only the completist in me keeps me watching Hitchcock films. There really isn't much left that he's done that intrigues me to keep seeking out his films. Still I watch 2 or 3 new films of his every year.

Also, besides Eleven I'm pretty certain Sven has seen more than me.

Probably about a week, yes. For other concerns, see here (http://match-cut.org/showthread.php?t=2250) and feel free to ask anything that's still seems vague.

Still surprised, minus Mara's vehement hatred to Hedren (:sad:), to see the relatively low ratings on The Birds. I just can't understand that...

[Derek]

Probably about a week, yes. For other concerns, see here (http://match-cut.org/showthread.php?t=2250) and feel free to ask anything that's still seems vague.

Still surprised, minus Mara's vehement hatred to Hedren (:sad:), to see the relatively low ratings on The Birds. I just can't understand that...

Perhaps their expectations were too high after the brilliant The Working Class (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLToN2pjik8). :)

[Derek]

Marnie hate gives me digestive problems.

[Mara]

Marnie hate gives me digestive problems.

I'd like to make a thorough defense of my reasons, but it's been a decade since I watched it, so I'll have to stick to what I remember.

1. Tippi Hendren.

2. The facile pop psychology of it is annoying. Hitchcock is guilty of this in several films (cringingly, for instance, in Spellbound, although the Dali dream sequence more than makes up for it.)

3. Any film in which a woman is blackmailed into marriage, raped by her husband, and then goes back to him to try and make it work is going to have me clawing at the walls.

Hmm. That's the way I remembered it, so I just pulled it up on Netflix instant watch, and it's pretty heavily implied. She says, "I don't want to go to jail. I'd rather stay with you."

What she didn't say is, "So long as I've decided to stop being a victim, I'm going to kick your manipulative ass to the curb right now."

Unless, of course, Tippi Hendren did a competely wrong reading of the line (which I'm not putting past her) and she meant, "I don't want to go to jail. It might be worse even then staying with you."

I'm glad you're redoing these. I'm making it a goal to watch a new Hitchcock movie this week. And I have a strong desire to rewatch N by NW.

[Mysterious Dude]

I think it's been about five years since I saw a Hitchcock film that was new to me. I took a class on him in college, and I think I had my fill. There are still a few major ones that I ought to see, though, such as Lifeboat and To Catch a Thief.

[Ezee E]

Despite having nearly all high rankings for Hitchcock, it wasn't until a few months ago when I saw Dial M For Murder where I started appreciating his techniques and aesthetics. I'm wondering what the best Hitchcock movie is that I have yet to see.

Over the years he has become a favorite of mine, although that's a given considering he's easily Top 10 Directors of All Time material. Even though I doubt I'll ever get through all of his films, I will make a serious attempt to see all of his most famous/discussed movies.

I would call her the most beautiful ever, and I did. Definitely doable? A little more so than that. Also I'm sure trotchky will have an aneurysm over the wording of your sentence.

Rear Window is the better film. Madman and I both rated it higher than To Catch a Thief. I just said she looked her best in that role.

[baby doll]

I'll ignore the inane part, and just ask you where I ever implied I would watch anything she appeared in?Your main reason for liking To Catch a Thief, which is lightweight and predictable, appears to be that Grace Kelly looked better in it than in any other picture in which she appeared.

[soitgoes...]

Your main reason for liking To Catch a Thief, which is lightweight and predictable, appears to be that Grace Kelly looked better in it than in any other picture in which she appeared.
My main reasoning for liking the film is that it is good (to me), she elevates it to something more, yes. This is everything I've said in my initial post on the matter. I've seen 6 out of 11 of her films, and could only possibly see myself watching one more. The 5 of 6 I've seen were all watched because of who directed her by the way (Ford, Zinnemann and Hitchcock). The 6th, she could hardly be seen as the main focus of the film, The Bridges at Toko-Ri, which also happens to be highly mediocre.

All of this leads me to ask, why in the world would it matter to you whether or not the reason why I like To Catch the Thief was because of Grace Kelly? You don't really seem to care about anyone's opinions but your own or those who stroke your ideals.

[baby doll]

My main reasoning for liking the film is that it is good (to me), she elevates it to something more, yes.So she elevates the thin material by being hot?

The film strikes me as a safe commercial feature he made to keep himself bankable between more ambitious and eccentric projects (namely, The Trouble With Harry and The Wrong Man). His boredom with this shopworn material is almost palpable, as it is in his remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much a year later. What's good about it (to you)?

The movie is fun, and besides Kelly being in it, it is gorgeous to look at. It should be noted that I am a fan of Grant too (and yes I do realize that he isn't a daring actor by any means). It makes great use of its setting. It has some good writing. Is it or could it ever be as good as Rear Window? No, of course not. But it can achieve what it sets out to be, and I think it does a good job at that. It isn't as if I would give the film a 5, but Grace Kelly bumps it up 3 and a half points.

You do realize that your opinion on this film is in the minority, right?

[MadMan]

Huh? Your personal favorite only gets an eight? And a nine for To Catch a Thief? Are you high or just indiscriminate?Just because its my personal favorite, doesn't mean I'm not going to rate it higher and ignore any of its faults or lack of greatness. That would be quite silly. And I have no idea if you think a 9 for "Thief" is too high or low. I feel its spot on.

Also I wish I was high. And I have no idea what the hell indiscriminate even means. No I won't look it up :P

Plus I'm amazed no one has wondered about my low rating for Dial M For Murder. I actually wonder if the remake is any better, or possibly worse.

[Spinal]

Just because its my personal favorite, doesn't mean I'm not going to rate it higher and ignore any of its faults or lack of greatness. That would be quite silly.

But if your ratings don't reflect your personal preference, then you're trying to estimate what some hypothetical other viewer might think of a certain film. It's like there's an objective number assigned to each film after it comes out and you're trying to guess the correct answer. Some might say that such a thing is quite silly.

I'd be one of them. I can't recall how many times I've been sucked into the objective vs subjective argument.

You do realize that your opinion on this film is in the minority, right?I think your reasons for finding the film fun--pretty locations, pretty people, it achieves what it sets out to do (to be a light, disposable thriller)--are pretty superficial and dance around the central issue, which is that Hitchcock could direct this sort of thing in his sleep. It's technically well made, but that matters very little when the content is so anemic.

And so what if I'm in the minority? That's a pretty silly argument. A lot of people like Transformers, but that doesn't mean they're right.

I thought I'd expand on my one word dismissive comment.

You are the king of silly arguments. This whole thing is the epitome of a silly argument. I have stated I like a film. I have given you reasons for liking the film. If it's superficial or silly, who the fuck cares? Apparently I'm not the only one who enjoys the film. If you still don't get it then here you go baby doll: I only like To Catch a Thief because Grace Kelly is so hot in it. I watch it every other week jerking off to her beauty. It is pretty much the best thing Hitchcock ever made, and ranks in my Top 10 films of all-time. Hitchcock's career pretty much crashed after Kelly married Prince Rainier. Wrap your mind around that or not. I can give two shits.

52 films is pretty daunting and the reason why I'm hesitant to start going through Hitchcock's films even though I always mean to. Kudos to you for sticking with it to the end.

Just to be that guy, if you really want to be a completionist, you could watch Mary, which is his 1931 German language version of Murder! And if you really want to go the extra mile, you could unearth a surviving copy of his only lost movie The Mountain Eagle.

[Yxklyx]

I like The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) mostly because of how it uses music. I've not seen any other film use music like this one so the rating bumps are for that... Originality/Uniqueness score highly for me. I think the only new Hitchcock I've seen since this thread began is Family Plot and that would probably rate a 6 (mostly for Barbara Harris).
