I love Hitchcock films, My favorite is the 39 steps, brilliant. One of my sons bought me Hobsons Choice DVD for my birthday, my favorite film of all time. Not Hitchcock but I love that film.

“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

Hobson's Choice is wonderful. And Prunella Scales as a young thing!

I like The Trouble With Harry. A very atypical Hitchcock flick but well worth a watch. :tup:

This is a screen-dump of one folder on one drive. I tend to keep films after I've watched them... because some films are worth watching more than once. :)

I didn't know that he had made "Juno and the Paycock".

A brilliant play.
