Enthusiastically seconding "Arsenic and Old Lace" and "Father Goose"! Haven't seen the others, but they're no doubt also good.

2023-08-14 05:10:16 +0000 UTCMasterpiece Hitchcock. Probably Hitchcock’s best movie. Every new viewing decades later is revelation of great script, acting chop & superb cinematography

2023-08-09 23:58:38 +0000 UTCHopefully sooner rather than later😉

2023-08-09 17:35:39 +0000 UTCYeah "Land of mine" is great, but I havent seen the whole movie. April 9th is very good. Very accurate to the real invasion. The King's choise from Norway is also great, and Talvisota from Finland 🙂 and (belive it or not) Beyond the border from Sweden. 🤣 They are all on popcorn request. Some day there might be a poll with European war movies 🤪😜😃
Björn Karlsson
2023-08-09 16:36:31 +0000 UTCHaven't gotten around to April 9th. But I really like "Shadow in my eye" about the failed british bombing in Copehagen where they accidentally hit a school. And "Land of Mine" is soo good. Nominated for best foreign movie at the 2017 Oscars.
Jan Sørensen
2023-08-09 14:29:26 +0000 UTCProbably not.
Jan Sørensen
2023-08-09 14:21:08 +0000 UTCYeah.... Great ww2 movies from Finland and Japan. I like April 9th 🙂 But non-english movies has no chances in polls 😔😔

2023-08-09 00:09:35 +0000 UTCGrant was, along with Clark Gable, made of the stuff that made my grandma swoon. The list of leading ladies Grant appeared with is a list of the most famous actresses of the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. “Arsenic and Old Lace”, 30’s screwball comedy. “People Will Talk”, the most unusual story you will ever see. Mature 50’s comedy. “To Catch a Thief”, Hitchcock lighthearted thriller. Grace Kelly and Grant’s chemistry sizzles. “Operation Petticoat”, WWII comedy based on a true story. Also starring Tony Curtis. “Houseboat”, Comedy starring Sophia Loren. “Charade”, a mystery inside an enigma. As Hitchcock as it gets and Hitch had nothing to do with it. Audrey Hepburn dazzles. “Father Goose”, another WWII comedy with Leslie Caron.

2023-08-08 02:06:16 +0000 UTCYou are so right about fast cut editing. Alfred Hitchcock was the “master of suspense”. There wouldn’t be much suspense if all issues were resolved immediately.
Michael and Phyllis Selby
2023-08-08 01:20:27 +0000 UTCThe way movies are written and filmed has changed a lot over the years, the way things are paced and edited are quicker and more efficient at story telling. Modern screenplays follow very similar methods of writing so have a more ‘modern’ feel to them. People nowadays can handle jump cuts, zooming shots, fast paced dialogue because we’ve got used to them over the decades.

2023-08-07 23:42:56 +0000 UTCHow about throwing some more foreign war movies in the polls.
Jan Sørensen
2023-08-07 19:08:10 +0000 UTCEva Marie Saint also features in another brilliant film, On The Waterfront (1954), with Marlon Brando, who won his first Oscar for that film!

2023-08-07 18:45:00 +0000 UTCGreat to see you enjoy this classic so much, Cassie. Now you will have to tell Carly she should watch it too !! :)

2023-08-07 02:06:34 +0000 UTCFor a long time, I considered Timecop (1994) to be one of Van Damme's top two movies, alongside John Woo's Hard Target. Recently though, my opinion of it has decreased. It's an enjoyable, decent, legit action/sci-fi movie, but it has too much of a throw-away B-movie feel. In my personal ranking, I'd replace it with either the drama JCVD (2008), or for pure Van Damme fun, Bloodsport (1988).

2023-08-06 20:00:26 +0000 UTCBut he will most be remembered for his portrayal of J. Howard Marshall.

2023-08-06 19:48:48 +0000 UTCBtw, Cary Grant had a "Mid-Atlantic" accent, in that it wasn't quite British or American. It was considered prestigious because typically you had to be educated at a fancy boarding school to speak that way; no one spoke it naturally. Grant wasn't from an upper-class background, but he was a Brit who came to America as a teenager, so maybe he really did come by it naturally. He and Katharine Hepburn are considered the classic examples, but she was just an upper-class American. It faded out after the war. I understand there was a "Canadian dainty" accent that was similar.

2023-08-06 16:56:44 +0000 UTCTo Catch a Thief is a great film, a little lightweight but a lot of fun.
David Conroy
2023-08-06 15:57:14 +0000 UTCMore Cary Grant & Hitchcock: To Catch a Thief. Grace Kelly too!
Odd Thomas
2023-08-06 12:15:59 +0000 UTCI honestly think Time Cop and Universal Solider were generally good sci-fi films.
rakesh
2023-08-06 12:12:31 +0000 UTCConsidering how much you seem to like this one, you really should try 'Dial M for Murder.' 👍🏻♥️😀
'Pappy' Johnston
2023-08-06 07:40:06 +0000 UTCAnother espionage tie-in... Grant's attorney Victor Larrabee is played by Edward Platt- The Chief from "Get Smart". (coincidentally, the Chief's assistant was named Agent Larrabee.)

2023-08-06 05:16:20 +0000 UTCMaybe one day we'll see "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (the 1956 version).
Jeffrey Schmidbauer
2023-08-06 05:03:32 +0000 UTCI never bought the romance arc in this film. Seemed very forced.
Bill W
2023-08-06 03:40:57 +0000 UTCstill love it when the kid covers his ears before the gunshot
zynjams
2023-08-06 03:10:01 +0000 UTCWhen Eve Kendall is about to shoot Thornhill, you can see in the background a little boy covering his ears anticipating the bang.
Jeffrey Schmidbauer
2023-08-06 03:08:57 +0000 UTCEva Marie Saint (Eve Kendall) is still living. She recently turned 101 years old.
Jeffrey Schmidbauer
2023-08-06 03:04:35 +0000 UTCThe final shot of the train entering the tunnel is Hitchcock's way of saying their marriage is consummated.
Jeffrey Schmidbauer
2023-08-06 03:03:22 +0000 UTCCary Grant's accent comes from his British background. Cary's real name is Archibald Leach.
Jeffrey Schmidbauer
2023-08-06 03:01:55 +0000 UTCWhat with all this talk of Vandamm, I will once again attempt to summon up Hard Target (1993). The power of JCVD compels you!
Happy Hanukkah
2023-08-06 02:08:04 +0000 UTCBeing falsely accused and chased for something you did not do was a common Hitchcock theme. Don't be surprised by the variety of Hitchcock films. Rebecca and Notorious {with Cary Grant} are love stories at their core with thrilling events all around the main characters. And yes, Cary Grant had a distinctive voice that only added to his image of being the most suave and cool man ever in the movies.

2023-08-06 01:38:57 +0000 UTCIve been requesting the Majestic for 2 years now. so i didnt need to push Landaus IMDB page

Cole Jennett
2023-08-06 01:06:49 +0000 UTCDifferent from other Hitchcock movies. The star power of Cary Grant is on display here. It's clear why he was such a major leading man of his era. I can't peg what his accent is, so I guess it is just his own creation, and it's cool, timelessly cool.
Richard Bourne
2023-08-06 01:00:27 +0000 UTCYup, that is a Cassie and Carly "double crying towel feature" if there ever was one.
Bill Maurer
2023-08-06 00:30:24 +0000 UTCI recommend "Gunga Din" with Grant (1938) and "Odd Man Out" with Mason (1946?).
Tom Holman
2023-08-06 00:17:29 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing that! One of my favoriite films -- let alone Hitchcock films!

2023-08-06 00:14:57 +0000 UTCMartin Landau was in the Majestic, My favorite Jim Carrey movie
zynjams
2023-08-06 00:14:29 +0000 UTCGrant and James Mason (Van Damme) were both Englishmen who lived in the US for long periods. Thus their muted accents.
Tom Holman
2023-08-06 00:07:37 +0000 UTCJames Mason (Van Damme) is also from England.
Judy M. Goodman
2023-08-06 00:04:28 +0000 UTC"Cary Grant was born Archibald Alec Leach on January 18, 1904 in Horfield, Bristol, England, to Elsie Maria (Kingdon) and Elias James Leach, who worked in a factory. " https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000026/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm

Alex
2023-08-05 23:59:54 +0000 UTCHitchcock also made THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY (1955), which is more comedy than thriller, but there are many thrilling moments.

2023-08-05 23:52:13 +0000 UTCI’ve been a Hitchcock fan since my cousin recommended Psycho to me when I was twelve or thirteen. Forty years later and 3 dozen blu rays of his films are proudly displayed in my film collection. One of the best experiences of my life was back in the early 90s when my wife, mother and I toured Universal Studios. They had a wonderful Hitchcock exhibit, including a live recreation of the Psycho shower scene (they showed how each camera angle and accompanying shot was created) and a 3D short film cut of The Birds. Everyone in the small theater ducked when the birds seemed to fly off the screen right into our faces. Finally, they had a Hitchcock museum that you walked thru to exit the building. Great times! PS: Cassie seemed a bit confused as to why they thought that Thornhill was the fictitious spy Kaplan. It’s because he raised his hand to get the waiter’s attention at precisely the same moment that they were paging Kaplan. Seeing this, the baddies naturally assumed he was responding to the page and must, therefore, be Kaplan.

2023-08-05 23:47:12 +0000 UTCThe woman’s intuition line of Leonard’s which threw you off was meant as a (subtle?) hint that Leonard is homosexual and in love with his boss. Obviously, given the time and context this is played quite underhandedly (and in a somewhat sinister way) but it certainly adds to Leonard’s issues with Ms Candle who’s now also a competitor for Vandamme‘s affections. Martin Landau did this a couple of times, as I recall. And films from that time did it, too, as for instance with Stephen Boyd‘s Messala in Ben Hur and, more prominently, Lawrence Olivier‘s Crassus in Spartacus. That it’s usually the bad guys who are the closeted homosexuals, is obviously not a coincidence and very much a sign of the times.

Ben92
2023-08-05 23:40:40 +0000 UTCFather Goose is another good Cary Grant movie
Michael Scoggins
2023-08-05 23:27:21 +0000 UTCLeonard was played by Martin Landau, who was a member of the original IMF on the 1960’s TV version of Mission Impossible.
Stephen Malloy
2023-08-05 23:15:45 +0000 UTCEva Marie Saint played Tom Hanks mom in the movie "Nothing in Common", which also starred Jackie Gleason in his last film. Pretty much Tom Hanks first chance to show dramatic acting chops... And a really good movie.
Jeff Rogers
2023-08-05 23:07:15 +0000 UTC"To Catch a Thief" "Philadelphia Story" "An Affair to Remember" "Notorious" "The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer" Add those Cary Grant movies to your list ...
Bill Maurer
2023-08-05 22:44:03 +0000 UTCYes it is. Her first.
