The master of suspense and rear projection....

It's funny that his daughter should mention Spielberg, because Hitchcock actually threw Steven twice out of his set, once in 1966, then in 1975, after Jaws was released.

[@mrlopez-pz7pu]

Fer Abra are you kidding me? So because Hitchcock threw out a young unknown Spielberg off his set (something he did indiscriminately) and then he threw him off a set post-Jaws (perhaps more as a typical ego trip) and all this now means his daughter can't mention Spielberg a zillion years after Spielberg established himself? What kind of stupid logic is THAT?

[@ferabra8939]

Learn to read, mate...I haven't said that Pat can't mention Spielberg. I said it's funny...You obviously had a rough day. Just continue your anger management therapy...Best.

With Hitchcock how the Hell do you choose a favorite???? Even, his bad movies which one do I choose as worst ???? I would say for me, "Shadow of a doubt, " "Strangers on a train, " "Notorious, " "Foreign Correspondent, " "NBNW" are usually at the top of the list of favorite Hitchcock's annually, as well as favorite movies period.

0:12 Doesn't mention "Vertigo" -- currently rated the best film of all time.

Arbiter No one loves Hitch more than I, but I have never heard Vertigo mentioned as best movie. Since 1938, it was Citizen Kane, and then after 1972, The Godfather. But I think Hitch was the best director.

Jim LaGuardia “Vertigo” is currently ranked as the best movie of all time on the Sight and Sound poll (which I believe is conducted by the British Film Institute).

Hitchcock did some decent videos, but how does his stuff compare to something like Battlefield Earth?

[@charlemarcharlemar2401]

I like Hitchcock's films and still watch Hitchcock Presents (TV) but even as a kid, watching some of his movies in a theater, I thought some parts looked fake and have always thought he should not have done a scene that way if technology was not up to speed. I still think so. I think him deciding to do it anyway was purely political, as he knew he was loved enough to be accepted and they were/are. However, I still am pulled out of the immersive experience to the analytical.

Such a GD shame. A chance to speak to Pat AND Bogdanovich and the same stupid questions. And Rose tends to interject with mundane chime ins. "Oh! I know Santa Rosa." And then cuts off Pat with a "yeah. Here's a scene from..." So rushed and condescending. Corporate bone picking. I bet all the questions were asked/answered prior.
