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?!
