hitchcock

a really good friend of mine surprised me with a gift last friday... 2 dvd collection sets of hitchcock films. now... i have dvd copies of the following. yahoo!!!

the man who knew too much
vertigo
rear window
shadow of a doubt
saboteur
the birds
psycho

i can't wait to watch these classics again. hitchcock, without a doubt, is still the master of suspense. he is definitely an icon, pioneering so many techniques in the suspense and psychological thriller genres. his career spanned six decades, starting with silent films, through the initial stages of sound films, and up to the color era. to those who still haven't discovered him, it's now time.

thanks irene.

(i was introduced to hitchcock back in college in one of mark escaler's classes. i think it's film theory class, a comm elective. surprisingly, my first hitchcock film was rear window. for most, it's usually psycho since it's his most famous masterpiece, his mona lisa. since then, i've been a hitchcock fan.)
