Name that Hitch Flick

.



.

So the Hitchcock wiki is pretty much the most important advance in the arts since the alphabet--or at least since Hitch was actually making movies. I won't say much except that the images above are thumbnails from the site. They have 1000 SCREENSHOTS from each of his major movies. 1000! Which is a bleeding lot.

The site is awesome, that much is certain. But! How awesome are you?

Can you name all the movies above? I'll cop to not liking one of them very much (even if it is Mormon), thinking one is merely okay, and not even having seen one of them. But I think all thirteen are fairly easy to recognize from the shots I chose. Not super-easy, maybe, but fairly easy. Take a stab.

Heh heh heh.

    OK, clips from the bird one for a class, but that's definitely all.

    This must be remedied. Our collection is heavy in his older work and short in the true masterpieces, but if you want to borrow something, feel free to ask. When I get home I can check the list and see just what we have.

  9. I must admit the only one I've seen is Birds. Saw that one at the good ol' varsity theater at BYU.

    It's pretty good but definitely not one of my favorites. Psycho, Vertigo, NXNW, Notorious, Harry, Strangers, Rear Window, Rope -- all fantastic.
