gary glitter was one of those people too. "i love u love, u love me too love". What a classic. Sing that at karaoke club now. I'd sing it. Its a fun song. Same with the rather silly "Iam the leader, iam the leader, iam the leader of the gang" song. I love those songs. My grannie does too. Has no clue he is a pedo. Cant understand the term bless her. Cant really say to her "he fucks girls, grandma". It'll break her heart.

I'm happy to see a few people mention Marnie here. For a straightforward melodrama, it really works.

Hermann! "...and ALL the animals come at night..."

Now give me the money!

CORRECT! and one part of the taxi driver score sounds like part of PSycho.

AnckSuNamun said:

Bernard Hermann composed the music for good number of Hitchcock movies as well as delivering the atmospheric score for "Taxi Driver" He died more or less straight after finishing his work on "Taxi Driver". If you check the end credits, Scorsese dedicates the film in his memory

(BTW, still loving the girl in your avvie )

senik said:

cool....and thanks

ufoclub said:

There's also a brief 3-note reference to the Psycho score in Star Wars, when Han and company are coming out of the Millenium Falcon's holding compartment after the stormtroopers have searched for them.

How the fuck did I miss this thread.

No ones mentioned The Lady Vanishes c'mon you guys are sleeping.

it's all about Dame May Whitty

PSYCHO

Do you like the original or remake better?

RipHer2Shreds said:

yea that's one of his best.

heartbeatocean said:

Didn`t Cary Grant star in that movie?

Icicle said:

yea, not a big fan of that one.

lilgish said:

I like "Noth by northwest", but when it comes to Hitchcock movies, i prefer James Stewart

Icicle said:

agreed, though Hitchcock was always a bigger star in the movie than his actors.

though I wish George Sanders and Laurence Olivier would have done more pre 45 work with him.

ufoclub said:

Fella, why do you reply in the format that you do, with everything 'grey boxed' underneth you post? Strange and different (not that I have a problem with it, pal )

I don't control that... its automatic... see some other people's posts above... must be a prince org thing? maybe because sometimes I'm on a mac?

You know, it's been so long since I went through my Hitchcock phase, I'd have to watch them again. I have clearer memories of the later oner which seemed pretty creepy, but I'd have to watch them again.
