Watched ADAM CHAPLIN at the weekend. All i can say is MENTAL. It is an entertainingfilm to watch that has all the over the top gore of films like Bad Taste and Brain Dead. Worth a watch.

Look, I agree that it's probably one of the best films every made, but best doesn't always mean interesting, and frankly I got bored and I got a bit annoyed with James Stewart, especially after having seen him give a terrific performance in Rear Window one hour earlier to Vertigo.

Now Rear Window, I would say is one of the best films ever made.

I'm a huge Hitch fan, and i love Rear Window (though not as much as Brian De Palma does haha) but it's a thriller pure and simple, Vertigo is a story about an obssessed individual who ruins everything in his pursuit of a unobtainable fantasy (proto giallo anyone?)....this plays against JS' "good guy" image for a start, a brave and subversive move at the time. give it a year and watch it again..........

Please.

I love both those films and rate them very, very highly indeed, but it's Shadow Of A Doubt and The Tenant for me, because I'm twisted like that.

Rosemary's Baby is my favourite Polanski film, and as for Hitchcock, it's almost too close to call... a toss up between The Lady Vanishes and Psycho.
