Thank you, Hitchcock!

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2000)

What else is there to say but: "Thank you, Hitchcock!" Even though I've seen the most famous Hitchcock films when I was a teenager (e.g. The Birds and Psycho) I haven't actively been looking for Hitchcock films in the video store or the library until now. And you know, it feels like I've stumbled upon a treasure. To know that I haven't even seen half of Hitchcock's films is a source of happiness. To know that I have so many good films to look forward to Well, everyone who is a Hitchcock-fan knows what I mean.
"Rear Window" is one of the best Hitchcock films I have seen. I like James Stewart and I think he's brilliant here. Grace Kelly is very good as well and the whole film is, of course, masterfully made. A pure joy to watch and experience, I can recommend "Rear Window" to everyone. I still think that "Strangers on a Train" is the best Hitchcock I have seen but then again, I have so many Hitchcock films yet to see
