James Bond Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Alfred Hitchcock's Young and Innocent (1937)The murderer... Not the most engaging of Hitchcock's "British period" but worth watching all the same. It's still got that distinct suspense feeling that only Hitchcock can grant with two endearing leads and great acting. My only real problem is that my copy of it is on one of those bargain DVD sets so it was almost painful to watch but alas some of the better restorations of early Hitchcock come at a very high price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drummer Boy. The impressive swooping shot for 1937 standards to reveal the drummer... and he's wearing blackface. You go from being impressed to remembering it truly is 1937.

Rovim Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The Hateful Eight. It was ok. Some great scenes. Repeats himself even more I see, and Leo's performance alone in the previous movie was better in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Rewatched Jackie Brown and it's amazing to see how tight a movie Tarrantino used to be able to make; no superfluous scenes, dialogue or racial charged words for shock value. Robert Forster was amazing as well; I'd love for him to work with Quentin again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The Veil. It was messy but it was creepy. The speech rant at the end was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I thought Hateful was pretty tight. The only bit that seemed indulgent was Tim Roth's speech about justice. I love Walton Goggins since Justified so I enjoyed his performance. And SLJ character was intricate. Kurt and Bruce were good. I enjoy the layers.

I think Hateful Eight is a good example of a movie by him where nothing is superfluous as much as JB.

I personally love it. That trinity of Dogs, Pup, JB is my favorite of his.It's hard to beat Samuel L Jackson rolling through Compton late at night bumping Johnny Cash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Sabotage (1936)Another Hitchcock thriller from his British days. This is definitely one of his darker films and what a ride it is. It also has some pretty neat special effects for the time period. It truly reminds me of a modern terrorist thriller. As usual, Hitchcock was ahead of his time. Granted, this was adapted from a Conrad novel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I love all of Hitch's British Gaumont work. In my opinion they are the greatest British films ever produced. I'm slowly working my way through all of them. Unfortunately, only a few of his British films have found their way onto officially released DVDs and Blu-ray in North America. The rest are only available in the plethora of bootleg Hitchcock DVD sets, often in barely watchable quality. I've loved what I've seen so far so I should really invest in a region free player to buy the UK releases. Either that, or Criterion needs to hurry up and do one mass box set of them all.

Len Cnut Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Its testament to Hitchcocks talent as a director that he could make espionage films seem actually interesting.

Thanks for the info! If I get the region thing sorted it I'll definitely look into buying those first two sets. I wish it were that easy in North America. Granted, we have some excellent sets of his American films (including a nice 15 film Blu-ray set) so I do own almost all of his American films on Blu and/or DVD (I just need to fill in the gaps with a handful of singles - I passed in the big set because I had already started with smaller Blu sets). It's the British ones that are harder to get because like I said, most do not have an official release here.I should really make a check list of what I have and what I don't. I'd like to come as close as possible to owning them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
