Director of the Month: Alfred Hitchcock

With no shame whatsoever I would have to say Alfred Hitchcock is my favorite film director because he had so many great movies. His films are entertaining from one standpoint but also skillfully crafted with many unique touches and techniques. His career spanned from the silent era to modern films into the 1970s making the breadth of his work expansive. Furthermore, he made the transition from England to the United States and his style changed as a result. He is now an icon for the quirky persona he created promoting his films and narrating his TV shows. Whether it be by his choice of lead actors and actresses, locations, subjects, plot devices, or cameos, he left an indelible mark on his work. I have watched over 20 of Hitchcock's best films and I have some of his other most famous ones listed. I will let you make your own opinion but hopefully you can enjoy his films as much as I have. In the following days I hope to release reviews of some of the films I have watched and really enjoyed.
