[soitgoes...]

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.

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.

[dreamdead]

I do believe soitgoes... has the "most viewed" title wrapped up unless Raiders or Sven can demonstrate similar range.

Meantime, I'm still the only individual who's suffered through Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Go me.:|

[Eleven]

Hoo boy. And I have most of his silents on an unwatched DVD.

I wish more people had seen Shadow of a Doubt. I love it so very much.

It's pretty great.

I could be confusing it with something else, but I think I watched it when I was 15.

Yeah, this was a pathetic attempt to cash in on the success of Mizoguchi's Ringu.

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.

[Sven]

I probably should see Suspicion again. I think I'd probably like it more than I did. Fontaine's performance, though, cannot be praised highly enough. I think it might be my favorite female performance that I've seen.

The best performance can't fix how silly that ending was.

Too true. Or that Carey Grant kept calling her some really ridiculous term of endearment that I cannot remember but remember laughing at each time he said it.
