(that puts Zen up by 3pts, who's going to claim the final 4? Will Stan be the spoiler or will Kyle login in time!)

[Mike]

Me?

Probably not.

I have played scores for Blackmail, The Lodger and The Ring. Hitchcock actually had 9 silent films, Blackmail, I believe was the only one of those 9 turned into a talkie.

Oh I have nothing to contribute to the thread, I just wanted everyone to know how awesome I am. I'm such a dick.

[Mike]

Dick.

[Zen]

But an awesome dick...

Mr. & Mrs. Smith -- maybe it was funny at times i think but really few memories of Hitch's only straight comedy.
Notorious - beautifully filmed with awesome actors, but so so serious
The Trouble with Harry - pretty good from what i remember
To Catch a Thief - beautiful film that runs on charm, but slogs a bit and unsurprising.
Spellbound (1945) - some great innovations (including Dali's sequence) but I think I got all I'll get out of it after 2 views.
Suspicion (1941) - so so serious. Good stuff, but I prefer Cary Grant absolutely charming.
Secret Agent (1936) - what? I dunno.
Shadow of a Doubt (1943) - solid suspense. If Hitch didn't hit so many home runs later, probably would have been his most admired film.
The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) - creepy good when not laughable.
Foreign Correspondent (1940) - beautiful action film with fun characters, chases, and surprises
Frenzy (1972) - Amazing film. A bit of Hitchcock creep (see rape scene that can be taken as gratuitous or extremely-empathetic or both), but otherwise it's honestly scary, suspenseful, and funny.
Sabotage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There’s a few things, about three things to my account that I need each day. One of them is something to look up to, another is something to look forward to, and another is someone to chase. Now, first off, I want to thank God. ‘Cause that’s who I look up to. He has graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or any other human hand. He has shown me that it’s a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates. In the words of the late Charlie Laughton, who said, “When you’ve got God, you got a friend. And that friend is you.”

To my family, that who and what I look forward to. To my father who, I know he’s up there right now with a big pot of gumbo. He’s got a lemon meringue pie over there. He’s probably in his underwear. And he’s got a cold can of Miller Lite and he’s dancing right now. To you, Dad, you taught me what it means to be a man. To my mother who’s here tonight, who taught me and my two older brothers… demanded that we respect ourselves. And what we in turn learned was that we were then better able to respect others. Thank you for that, Mama. To my wife, Camila, and my kids Levi, Vida and Mr. Stone, the courage and significance you give me every day I go out the door is unparalleled. You are the four people in my life that I want to make the most proud of me. Thank you.

And to my hero. That’s who I chase. Now when I was 15 years old, I had a very important person in my life come to me and say “who’s your hero?” And I said, “I don’t know, I gotta think about that. Give me a couple of weeks.” I come back two weeks later, this person comes up and says “who’s your hero?” I said, “I thought about it. You know who it is? It’s me in 10 years.” So I turned 25. Ten years later, that same person comes to me and says, “So, are you a hero?” And I was like, “not even close. No, no, no.” She said, “Why?” I said, “Because my hero’s me at 35.” So you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero’s always 10 years away. I’m never gonna be my hero. I’m not gonna attain that. I know I’m not, and that’s just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.

So, to any of us, whatever those things are, whatever it is we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to, and whoever it is we’re chasing, to that I say, “Amen.” To that I say, “Alright, alright, alright.” To that I say “just keep living.” Thank you.

[Mike]

Amen, brother.
