Top Movies

We love watching movies, old movies. We've now fallen in love with Alfred Hitchcock. Here are some of our favorites:

*Rear Window. This Hitchcock film stars James Stewart and Grace Kelly. There is just enough of scary to bring us back for more without causing nightmares. We really can't watch scary films- at all; honestly, it is physically impossible. This film is in color- so if you're not into black and white, this is a good pick for you.

*Rebecca. This film marks Hitchcock's American debut and it won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1940. Laurence Olivier stars as Maxim de' Winter and Joan Fontane stars as his bride. Rebecca shows just how brilliant Hitchcock is. The film is really, truly a work of art. No director can compete with Hitchcock's lighting effects to connote a mood or feeling. The shadows are very sinister- oooh! And let's face it- Sir Laurence Olivier is the most gorgeous man to ever life.

*The Lady Vanishes and Secret Agent. These works are from Hitchcock's British work in the 1930s. The are absolutely FANTASTIC. They are only about 1 hour- so if you get tired with long old movies- these are good picks for you. Plus, it is fun to see Hitchcock's artistic development.

Please feel free to let us know what your favorite scary/tense movies are during this Halloween time. Below is a photo of Laurence Olivier- some eye candy for y'all- Happy Halloween!
