The fact that I am the first person to write anything on Hitchcock is just criminal. Born on 8/13/1899, he was widely regarded as one of the best directors ever lived. With a reputation for making horror, suspense,and thriller movies, he's sometimes referred to as the "Master of Suspense." He is famous for using attractive blond women in his movies and making cameo appearances in his own movies. Hitchcock's most famous movies include: Notorious, Psycho, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Rear Window, Strangers on a Train, 39 Steps, Rebecca, To Catch a Thief, The Birds, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Dial 'M' for Murder. Upon his death on 4/29/1980, Alfred Hitchcock, among other legendary directors such as Robert Altman, Stanley Kubrick, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, and Martin Scorsese, never received an Oscar for Best Director.
Person 1: I watch a lot of movies. I am a movie person.
Person 2: Me too! And don't you just love Alfred Hitchcock?
Person 1: I've never really watched any Hitchcock.
Person 2: And you call yourself a movie person? How dare you?!

Noun: The act of timing when you push for a shit with the flushing from the neighboring toilet cubicles.
Taken from the film "The 39 Steps" by Alfred Hitchcock, where a gunshot is timed and disguised during the crash of a cymbal.

Much like calling a moron "Einstein", "Like Hitchcock" is used towards a film, from average to poor quality, when comparing it to a film of even worse quality. Putting the two side by side, it makes the original choice appear of a far substantial standard.

Director and producer, Alfred Hitchcock, liked to cast blonde actresses in leading roles in his films. Hitchcock's blonde leading ladies often had the lightest of blonde hair; hair so white blonde that it was seemingly stripped of all natural color. As Hitchcock movies were suspenseful psychological thrillers that included frightening scenes, an alternate definition of "Hitchcock Blonde" refers to a scary, unnatural shade of blonde hair.
Some of Hitchcock's more famous blonde leading ladies were: Tippi Hedren (Marnie, The Birds), Grace Kelly (To Catch a Thief, Rear Window, Dial M for Murder), Kim Novak (Vertigo), Doris Day (The Man Who Knew Too Much), Eva Marie Saint (North By Northwest), Marlene Dietrich (Stage Fright), Carole Lombard (Mr & Mrs Smith), Joan Fontaine (Rebecca, Suspicion), Julie Andrews (Torn Curtain), and Ingrid Bergman (Spellbound, Notorious).
