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.

Wow those were on the old site? I feel like they were much more recent than that. Yeh I'm gonna be honest. I didn't read one word in your post. Sorry. I just assumed it was gonna be the same as the others. My B.

TIPPI HENDREN CAN'T ACT. SHE CANNOT SAY SO MUCH AS A SINGLE LINE WITHOUT ME WANTING TO PECK OUT HER EYES LIKE I'M A DEMENTED PSYCHOPATHIC PIGEON.

Other than that, The Birds is okay. Marnie is crap all around, though. Man, I hate that film. Seriously.

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

[Winston*]

Glad to see Notorious getting love. It's one of my favorite films of all time.

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.

[Mara]

The Birds > Notorious

That's an interesting wrong opinion.

[Dead & Messed Up]

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.

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

[Sycophant]

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

[Spinal]

John Ford made tons of movies.
