  1. Rear Window! It’s probably the most obvious example of Hitchcock’s use of sympathy and manipulation of the audience, and the most meta film. We observe a man observing other people. It also features one of the most magnificent studio sets in film history. (I had completely forgotten how inherently horny the film is.)

  4. The Wrong Man was so unusual compared to his other works that they felt compelled to have a foreword by Hitchcock himself: It is a film adaptation of real events. We have the usual sense of sympathy for the protagonist, but the movie is relatively low-key for long stretches. Very strong performance from Henry Fonda, and terrific photography from Hitchcock’s long-term cinematographer Robert Burks.

  5. My Hitchcock run continues with The Birds. I had a lot of fun watching it, even though it's not one of my favorites. In many ways, it's the blueprint for Jaws. I had forgotten how rad some compositions are. Twenty years later, Brian De Palma would bring out the diopter for such extravagances.

  6. I watched Dial M for Murder again. Those early color films really do have a unique tone and quality. I believe WarnerColor significantly pushed red. And this film is a great example of what made Hitchcock famous: manipulating viewer sympathy for characters. He was the absolute master, such a great film.
