Damn I agree with this list heavily

Pulp and Basterds are just absolute masterpieces. The over the top violence feels a little forced in KB1 and Django tbh. It just works way more in Basterds, not sure why

rebecca not in the top ten

Barely haha

Just got Marnie blu in the mail your placement amplifying the hype

Hitchcock is no doubt one of the major directors i own the least amount of physicals of. Def need to up my game in that dept

To Catch a Thief at 3rd lowest.

Yeah for now. Been meaning to rewatch it and a couple others of his. But everything above Stage Fright and Topaz are films i consider good or better, so the placement of films near the end of the list aren't necessarily a reflection of my thoughts on their quality haha

tbf that film improves with rewatches. At least that's what happened to me. went from good-ok Hitch to Top 10, close to Top 5 material.

Recently rewatched Torn Curtain a few weeks ago and it was def way better than i originally thought. You were right

Finally got N×NW blu coming too, haven't seen in nearly a decade probably

I believe I've only got Foreign Correspondent and Shadow of a Doubt of his films, both on blu

Criterion real for restoring his 30s stuff first. Got in a debate with a dude the other day who was adamant that they should release a Dr Robot box set :facepalm: dude could not understand how it's much more important for them to track down s*** that is at risk of being literally lost forever instead of releasing an average and brand new tv show that is fully available on Blu already. What an idiot; reddit.com/r/criterion/comments/g08qgk/any_mr_robot_fans_here_showcreator_sam_esmail/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Crine at someone even having the thought that criterion (or any film boutique) would release a modern drama series like that in the first place
