A bit of backstory: last year I started Project Hitchcock with a friend of mine. Simply put, we are going to watch all of his films which I have collected in chronological order (currently that means 43 titles; I plan to get a few more). With life getting in the way, it has been slow going but now it's moving again.
Last Saturday we watched Shadow of a Doubt, which neither one had seen. Great acting by Joseph Cotten, Teresa Wright, and the supporting cast, and a nice small town setting which somehow reminded me of Twin Peaks with its immense normality and curious people.
It was released in 1943 and the finishing line Family Plot came out in 1976, so it's going to take a while yet.
Bonus trivia: we have previously watched The Lodger, The Ring, The Farmer's Wife, Champagne, The Manxman, Blackmail, Murder!, The Skin Game, Rich and Strange, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The 39 Steps, Secret Agent, Sabotage, Young and Innocent, The Lady Vanishes, Jamaica Inn, Rebecca, Foreign Correspondent, Mr and Mrs Smith, Suspicion, and Saboteur. No, I cannot be arsed to hyperlink all of them. You know where to go. If you want details about the numerous DVD releases (their quality varies), you can go to Alfred Hitchcock Wiki.
