Tonight we watched Rear Window (1954) which is ranked #42 on the AFI list. bR has seen it before- this was gR's first time. gR loved it...
1. Grace Kelly's Mark Cross overnight bag
2. Jimmy Stewart is a photographer
3. the couple that lowers their dog down in a basket to potty
4. Miss Lonely Hearts hooks up with the songwriter
5. the sequence at the end where Hitchcock speeds up the film to make the running seem more frantic
6. the scene where Jimmy Stewart falls out the window
7. he broke his other leg... oh the irony.
gR was able to spot Hitchcock right away when he appears in the songwriter's apartment (in case you didn't know, he appears in all of his films). bR turned the light off right when Thorwald starts creeping up to Jimmy Stewart just to freak gR out... seconds later the living room lamp also went out (on a timer) which heightened the creepiness.
It was a fantastic movie. Many consider it Hitchcock's best film. We'll let you know if we agree once we see the rest.
On Deck (to continue our Hitchcock kick): Vertigo
