Century of Film Making

Yes it was from Taken :)

Can anyone tell me the name of a film I saw years ago, an old Jimmy stewart film, where he is a rather niaive sewer worker whose only ambition is to “move up” to being a street sweeper and who falls for a prostitute? I think the film was set in France?

Seventh Heaven

The hanging scene at the end of ” a short film about killing”.The whole film was disturbing but the end has haunted me.

The man getting out of the bath in “La diabolique”.

The young man Pleading with nurse Ratched not to tell his mum he slept with a hooker.

The sadness on Anthony Hopkins face sat on the pier at the end of ” Remains of the Day”

I’m a huge fan of Hitchcock.
Indeed rightly called “The Master Of Suspense”, and whilst I still believe that Kubrick is the greatest filmmaker of all time in that not only did he perfect the art form but literally transformed it, one cannot deny the impact and sheer entertainment value of many Hitchcock films.
In many ways it’s unfair to compare the two, so I’ll stop that.. Sorry 8-[

Suffice to say that nobody has put suspense. paranoia and psychological thrills to the screen as well as Alfred Hitchcock.

My personal faves are from that creative sweet spot he enjoyed from the mid 1940s to the early 60s, including..

SHADOW OF A DOUBT
ROPE
STRANGERS ON A TRAIN
I CONFESS
DIAL M FOR MURDER
NORTH BY NORTHWEST
PSYCHO
THE BIRDS

After that, things went a little downhill, though still some very good films by anyone else’s standards.

Earlier on, three works stand out for me..THE 39 STEPS, REBECCA and SABOTEUR.

Rebecca is my favourite film of all time and always will be
