My Top Ten Favorite Hitchcock Movies |

[@saylacofilms]

I'm loving these comments! It's so much fun to talk about these movies. I'd love to hear everybody's thoughts on Tarantino films! kzbin.info/www/bejne/enm4pZZqls9jpsk

[@Mleencihols]

Notorious is my favorite film of all-time. I have watched it so many times and it includes so many of Hitch's great tropes like the staircases in the final scene. And then you have Cary Gran and Ingrid Bergman...so hot together.

[@saylacofilms]

Notorious is wonderful,I probably need to make a part 2 of this video

[@TequilaToothpick]

For some reason that's the one Hitchcock film that did absolutely nothing for me.

[@TequilaToothpick]

I got to see North by Northwest at the theatre last year, it was fantastic.

[@ThanGogh]

nit a bad list. I would have included Rebecca in the top ten myself. I’m glad to finally meet the other person who saw the perfect murder! I agree it is probably the best remake ever done. It takes the simple premise of the original and adds to it. Such a fun watch

[@saylacofilms]

Thanks for watching! Yeah I was disappointed in myself for not talking more about Rebecca. I think it's a Hitchcock must watch for sure. Glad to meet you!

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

nice list. but with the exception of "rope" you're forgetting everything before 1950. you have "rebecca," his only oscar for best picture, "suspicion," lifeboat," "spellbound" and the wondeful 1938 british classic "the lady vanishes." in my book you can leave out "vertigo" and include any of these.

[@saylacofilms]

Thanks for watching!

I never knew Orson Welles thought The 39 Steps was a masterpiece, I read an article that said he watched The Lady Vanishes 11 times. Great list, a few you didn't mention that I also love are Notorious, Frenzy, Suspicion, To Catch A Thief, Sabotage, Family Plot, Young and Innocent, The Lodger, Stage Fright

[@saylacofilms]

I totally spaced on NOTORIOUS and SUSPICION, I like both of those films very much! I missed out on SABOTAGE because I got it confused with the SABOTEUR and thought I'd already seen it! Frenzy, to catch a thief and family plot as well as others were omitted to reduce running time as the list was already running long. Thanks, I need to add young and innocent, the lodger and stage fright to the list. That's the thing about somebody who's made at least 50 films, there's always more to watch! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@youngdumbcool9190]

@@saylacofilms Glad you like those two! I was thinking you might have left off Suspicion because of the ending. It took me 3 watches to figure it out the ending of it isnt all that cheery, it's actually ambiguous and dark. Sabotage is great, Tarantino actually added a clip of it and a bit of the plot to it too on Inglorious Basterds. I think you'll like all 3, especially Young and Innocent, if you're are into his innocent man on the run films. Like his other ones (though the other ones are greater) its an adventures filled with suspense, humor, and a fun couple who fall in love. Yes so many films, I just finished watching (1930) Murder, which now makes 47 films of his I've seen lol

[@saylacofilms]

@@youngdumbcool9190 Do you think SUSPICION might be his biggest DOWN ending? At least the killer is caught at the end of PSYCHO.

[@youngdumbcool9190]

@@saylacofilms I think Vertigo is but I actually like the potential ambiguous/dark ending from Suspicion, if thats what Hitchcock intended for with the last shot of the film. It's the cheery ending of it I despise

[@saylacofilms]

@@youngdumbcool9190 I subscribe to the idea that Cary Grant still means her harm at the end of suspicion

[@johnnypalooka]

You must have thought there had to be some reason Dial M For Murder had a 3D option. It was well known for having been released in 3D originally. I can't see how they can make it look 3D on your home screen however. Have you at least checked it out yet? If so, how's it look?

[@saylacofilms]

I just tried it and I'm shocked to report that it's the best 3D Blu-ray I have - although I don't have many. Unlike the other 3D movies I have, the 3D does not seem like an afterthought - everything seems perfectly backlit to make a jump off the screen. The opening titles are pure joy. It's not gimmicky 3D, it's just... Really good 3D.

[@ghostlightx9005]

Aww my own favourite didn't make your list....and that is the massively under-rated Frenzy.

[@saylacofilms]

I'm going to have to talk about that movie at some point. It kind of stands out in the Hitchcock crowd

[@Mleencihols]

My favorite director...

[@mangoman1616]

I personally think that Trouble With Harry is great! Also Frenzy deserves a mention on that insane single shot at the beginning! Great list though.

[@saylacofilms]

Definitely hearing a lot of love for TROUBLE WITH HARRY, which is a fun watch! Also FRENZY, too. That one kinda caught me off guard, I didn't see that movie coming.

[@theprinceofsnj]

I always enjoyed Family Plot. I believe it was the last film he made. Other then that it's North By Northwest.

[@saylacofilms]

You're right, FAMILY PLOT was the last film he made. Maybe after FRENZY, he was on the mood to do something different. There's something about NORTH BY NORTHWEST - it's so much fun, I watch it every year.

[@whenthepicturesgotbigger]

I personally prefer The Man Who Knew Too Much remake over the original! As a film video essay channel myself, I watch Hitchcock films on repeat and love absolutely everything, though.

[@saylacofilms]

I tend to agree - If I can only pick one, I would pick the remake

[@sensitivedogs]

Love Hitchcock! Great choices! And you're funny.

[@saylacofilms]

Thanks! And thanks for watching and commenting, it means a lot

[@sensitivedogs]

[@saylacofilms]

REBECCA is criminally underrated

[@richardking3206]

As usual, Americans always skip the British films. For me, a Brit, The Lodger, The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes are top-ranking Hitch films, as good as anything he made later. His US films get praised to the heavens, so I’m not going to repeat all that stuff, except to say North by Northwest has to be the best non-Bond Bond film, particularly with that ending!

[@saylacofilms]

I never thought of that, but N by NW is very Bond-ish!

[@hanniffydinn6019]

I love 39 steps!!!! 😎😎😎

[@saylacofilms]

Right? So good! I especially love the end, when the memory guy finally reveals what the 39 steps are - it's awesome

[@raystaar]

Liking 'The Birds' more that 'Strangers on a Train' is listed as a disorder in the DSM-5. Get help.

[@saylacofilms]

I'll do that, thanks!

[@mauricioduron3193]

Not 'Notorious'???

[@saylacofilms]

I do enjoy NOTORIOUS, but I had to stop somewhere

[@sensitivedogs]

Awful performances in remake of psycho and it ruins the experience.

[@saylacofilms]

For me, it's not the performances, but there's something odd happening... the color also adds something strange... And the whole movie kinda feels like a big prank on the audience

[@TequilaToothpick]

Dial M for Murder was made for 3D cinemas. When Grace Kelly grabbed the scissors it was supposed to be this big 3D effect.

[@saylacofilms]

Wow! I had no idea! How did I miss that!?!

[@TequilaToothpick]

@@saylacofilms I didn't even know 3D movies were a thing back then so it's easy to miss!

[@saylacofilms]

@@TequilaToothpick I'm more familiar with this story, still haven't seen the movies: "William Castle was known for his movie gimmicks, and The Tingler featured one of his best: "Percepto!". Previously, he had offered a $1,000 life insurance policy against "Death by Fright" for Macabre (1958) and sent a skeleton flying above the audiences' heads in the auditorium in House on Haunted Hill (1959). The gimmicks for The Tingler increased the film's cost from $400,000 to $1 million. "Percepto!" was a gimmick where Castle attached electrical "buzzers" to the underside of some seats in theaters where The Tingler was screened to provide "tingling" sensations during certain scenes."

[@janbarrett4544]

North By Northwest!!!!!!!

[@saylacofilms]

I think it's Hitchcock's most quotable movie. "Something wrong with your eyes?" "Yes, they're sensitive to questions!"

[@thomaskummer9968]

Your list is great My favourite Hitchcock movie ? I don't know, they are All great (except 2 or 3) You forgot 'Frenzy', I love this Film and it's got so much black humour 'To cath a thief' is also great, so relaxed and cool Very interesting: ' the Wrong Man', the only Hitchcock Film starring Henry Fonda, unknown and underrated 🙂

[@saylacofilms]

Everybody keeps bringing up FRENZY, I really need to watch it again, maybe do a reaction video. Thanks for watching!
