Recession Friendly Hitchcock

Date:

I’m still not at that stage where I’d be willing to watch anything longer than Todd Haynes’ Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story off my computer screen. The film (Top 100 of All Time for me) lasts a total of 48 minutes. I recently pulled my own copy of The Lodger out of my own library and queued it for an eventual watch… and, this action coincided with this press release from Joost.com who’ve just added eight of the Master of Suspense’s earlier films. I’m not totally turned off by the concept of watching them off the computer screen finally, an especially attractive feature during them tough economic times.  I wonder what is your favorite from the ones mentioned below?

The Lodger (watch below), Blackmail , The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rich and Strange, Sabotage, The Secret Agent, The 39 Steps, Young and Innocent.
