Besides Hitchcock, there's another director whose name begins with an "H" whom I hold in very high regard, and he is Howard Hawks. "Three great scenes, no bad ones" was his own pragmatic definition of a good movie, but it's safe to say he surpassed that frequently.
Today I watched His Girl Friday, one of the first movies where people talk over each other instead of waiting politely until the other actor has said his piece. More importantly, it's an extremely funny film. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell play wonderfully off each other.
