Vertigo. Gilda. Harold and Maude. The cemetery screens are totally in love with me!

Ok, while I admire The Player, it really doesn't call to me ... so I gave the first cemetary screening a miss.


But I intend to see Vertigo this coming Saturday, the 26th ... and I suggest we use this Hitchcock classic of obsession, psychosis, duplicity, and dreaminess to kick off the Cemetary Season in Style with a LoT Picnic and Movie Night.

Never has James Stewart played such a creep! Never has Alfred explored on film so suscinctly his own mania for making over women in the cool blonde mode of haughty sexgoddessness.



One of Bernard Herrmann's most haunting scores. Kim Novak as the haughty blonde, Jimmy Stewart as the insane detective. Alfred Hitchcock as one of the world's best filmmakers.


Vertigo!

Vertigo!

Rear Window is wayyyy better than Vertigo, imho.
:)

I did my "Complete Hitchcock" cycle last year. Spellbound, Shadow of A Doubt, Frenzy, Strangers On A Train and yes, even Psycho and North By Northwest are more fun for me. I think it's because they all have better villains than Rear Window and Vertigo. Gotta love the Hitchcock villains.

Who needs Rear Window when you can see Disturbia currenly in release!!?

I'm pretty sure we're on for this.

Let's not forget the villain in Rebecca.... the story of one woman's battle against her lesbian housekeeper. Spoooooooooky! ;)

Anyway, I want to see Gilda, since I am free that night, Rita Hayworth is awesome and.... yah.

This film is worth it jusT for the Griffith Observatory scene.

Not to mention the homoeroticism.
