Yes, I'm on a Hitch marathon at the moment! I love his films. I haven't seen Rope yet, though it's certainly on my list to see. My favourites are Spellbound, Dial M for Murder, and The Lady Vanishes.Quote:

I love Dial M as well but still have to put Vertigo as my number one (despite its failings).
Ooh I have two collections of his earlier works haha! From that collection I also like Jamaica InnQuote:

Ghost Town - Funny in parts but it was the same old "I see dead people and they want me to help them" movie, 7/10.
The Orphanage - 10/10 Excellent.
Sad and moving, great acting, setting, story etc. Some really tense moments, but not in a schlock horror way. I believe that Hollywood may have bought the story for a remake....NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!:flare:
The Curious Incident of Benjamin Button.
There was almost no advertising for it, I imagine because it's potential publicity was raped by Twilight.
Which is crazy, because Ben Button was brilliant! Plus it had big names, Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett. It was beautifully done, it made me really want to read the book(It was based on something by Fitzgerald). A couple of quarrels, though - It was a little drawn out at the start, which kind of undermined the intensity of the romance, and Brad Pitt couldn't quite sustain the character- Pitt can act that suave confident character very well, but it didn't quite suit Ben Button.
7/10
