it's my fave Hitchcock film closely followed by The Birds, Cary Grant is brilliant as is Eva Marie Saint and James Mason, the finale on Mount Rushmore is out of this world and Grant's delivery of the dialogue is second to none, great Saul Bass opening credit's too.

Anywho watched these yesterday....

TALES FROM THE CRYPT PRESENT: DEMON KNIGHT:- really fun horror comedy, not scary in the slightest but has a great comic turn from Billy Zane and a good performance from William Sadler. Good special FX make up too.

TALES FROM THE CRYPT PRESENT: BORDELLO OF BLOOD:- Not as good as Demon Knight but fun none the less with a sarcastic comic turn by Dennis Miller, nice legs on Erika Eleniak, nice boobs on Angie Everheart and Cory Feldman as a vampire makes for fun 90minutes.

BUNRAKU: rather bizarre mixture of Japanese paper theatre, martial arts movie and film noir. Really good cast and some unbelievably good production design. Paper thin plot though. Josh Hartnett, Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Japanese rocker Gackt and Ron Perlman star. Won't be everyone's cup of tea but i enjoyed it.

I was fortunate to see North by Northwest at the UCI cinema in Preston several years ago. It was a fantastic experience.

An honour to see an absolute classic on the big screen.

Ghost Story
Bizarre 1974 flick from Stephen Weeks. Not the greatest movie you'll ever see, but it has its moments. Plus it has a fabulous soundtrack. Great package from Nucleus.

A Criterion Collection double bill:

The Night of the Hunter
An absolute masterpiece with an extremely menacing Robert Mitchum and stunning direction by Charles Laughton, making it all the more weird that this was his one and only film. Both the child actors are immense in this, acting with such maturity.

House
Completely barmy and, as the rear cover says, 'like an episode of Scooby Doo directed by Mario Bava'. It has everything and is such a bizarre mixture of fantastical comedy and horror it practically defies explanation.

I'm still yet to pick up the Criterion BD of The Night of the Hunter.

It's near the top of a very long wishlist!

The book upon which the film is based is worth tracking down. I think it's by Davis Grubb, it's a long time since I read it but it impressed me as much as the film.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll add it to the growing list of books I haven't yet read!

just watched Arrows Obsession blu

was a alright flick
not a huge fan of it thought but far from bad

just watched TAXI 4, not as good as the previous three due it's lack of car chases but still a genuinely funny film with a great Scarface reference at the end.
