    How many Hitchcock films have I seen? Boy, what a rabbit hole to go into!

    I checked his filmography and realise I haven't seen any of his many very early (silent) films.

    I love all his UK productions from 1934-39, all wonderful. They are pure art, and the erotic undertones are actual undertones, not the thickly plastered-on pathological obsessions from the later movies.

    I've watched "The 39 Steps" (1935) and "The Lady Vanishes" (1938) countless, countless times, with undiminished enjoyment.

    The wartime US films can occasionally feel a little derivative; I haven't made the effort to see them all and may well have missed out on some hidden gem.

    I've seen most of his post-1946 films, some are less exciting than others, all are watchable. North by Northwest (1959) stands out.

    I seem to have missed out on his very last film, Family Plot (1976), I probably was just a couple of years too young to see it on release.

    I have been watching a lot of great old British films lately - following the thread of actors whose performances catch my attention. One of those actors is #MargaretLockwood (1916-1990) ... From Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes (1938) to her #BAFTA nominated role in Cast a Dark Shadow (1955) opposite Dirk Bogarde. Bravo! 👏👏👏

Her acting career spanned six decades, with many scene-stealing film appearances, including the deceptive nun in Hitchcock's #TheLadyVanishes (1938), and as aged eccentrics in Hammer's #TheShadowOfTheCat (1961) and #TheMummysShroud (1967).
