VHS : Rebecca
Great movie adaptation of Daphne du Maurier novel, funny at times, but tragic and surreal. This is the kind of movie Hollywood forgot how to make a long time ago, where you can just get caught up in a mesmerizing story. I can't think of another story where an unseen character plays a more important role.

The Birds (Collector's Edition)

I saw this movie when I was just a little girl (probably about 6 years old), I probably snuck out of my room, and what a mistake that was, I was so scared! As a matter of fact, the next day when I heard the birds outside I accidentaly touched the iron and seared my thumb and finger to the iron! So I wanted to see if it was as scary now that I am 46.

Well I was not as scared, but it was still a very erie movie, and kind of strange. The special effects for that time were pretty awesome. The story dragged on more than I remember, and I would have preferred to see it in black and white as it was made, not colored in.

The eyeball part is different, at least my memory tells me the eye ball was hanging out of the guys eye, not totally ... Read More

4.Pascali's Island starring: Ben Kingsley, Charles Dance, Kevork Malikyan, George Murcell, Helen Mirren

VHS : Pascali's Island
The dramatic conflict is created by an intriguing contrast. A British archeologist --turned con man-- and a Turkish spy --turned opportunist-- do well on an abundantly corrupt island under Ottoman control. Unexpected events encourage them to renew youthfully idealistic pursuits which ironically turn tragic.

The picture looks better, no more blips or speckles. And I thought it was interesting when William Friedkin says Hitchcock loved working with fake backdrops. I never knew that, interesting in the age of CGI technology.

This is one of my favorite films, and has the classic on-screen pairing of Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake.

VHS : The Haunting of Julia
I saw part of this movie on TV when I was in college well over twenty years ago and the chilling images (some shown and some just implied) have stayed with me all this time. I was delighted to see my cable provider is showing it as part of the "on demand" feature and I finally watched the movie in it entirety this afternoon.

Mia Farrow is perfectly cast as poor vulnerable Julia an American heiress living in London with her husband who seems more interested in her cash than her. When their beloved eight year old daughter tragically chokes to death at breakfast (if they had only known the Heimlich maneuver) her all ready weak marriage falls apart and she rents a huge furnished town home though her husband and his sister continually make efforts to woo Julia and her money back. In her new home Julia senses the spirit ... Read More

10.Marnie starring: Diane Baker, Henry Beckman, Sean Connery, Rupert Crosse, Bruce Dern

VHS : Marnie
Marnie starring Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery is a deeply disturbing drama directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Hedren is completely captivating in the title-role, she is so much more effective in this film than The Birds. I won't give away the ending but expect a creepy and complexed climax. This movie isn't considered a Hitchcock classic but it's definitely worth a viewing, enjoy!
