Hitchcock Filmography

I HAD A BRILLIANT IDEA!


 After reading "It's Only a Movie: Alfred Hitchcock, A Personal Biography" by Charlotte Chandler, I was inspired to see as many Alfred Hitchcock films as possible.  There didn't seem to be a downside: I like all the Hitchcock films I've seen and they are heavily referenced in pop culture, and it would give me a better appreciation for Mel Brook's "High Anxiety."

So I added all the American Hitchcock films to my Netflix queue.

The plan: watch all these films in sequential order, then write reviews of each.  Once I have exhausted the list, I hope to write a top 10 (or some other arbitrary number) list.

*EDIT: while reading "Hitchcock's Villains: Murderers, Maniacs, and Mother Issues" I decided to add some of Hitch's older films.

So here is my queue...

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)
The 39 Steps (1935) ~03/20/10
Secret Agent (1936)
Sabotage (1936)
