> Hrm. Hitchock's Rear Window is probably one of my personal favorite movies and also one of Hitchcock's best. However, it is consistently overlooked when it comes to great movies. I've gotten used to this fact. What annoyed me was a bit I saw in the IMDB's "Studio Briefing" today that mentioned that a panel that included such well respected people as Martin Scorcese picked Hitchcock's 10 Best Films. I figured that RW wouldn't be first (I firmly expected both Psycho and Vertigo to be ahead, even though to me they are inferior movies). When I'd read the Top 5 and it still wasn't there I was upset. A few seconds later when I had finished the list I read it twice more to make SURE I hadn't missed it. Yup, you guessed it -- RW didn't make the cut. Apparently, Frenzy (at number eight) is better. Frenzy. Come on people!

I haven't actually seen most of the movies on the list, but I am suprised nonetheless that Rear Window isn't on there.
