    Hitchcock would sometimes say when asked which of his pictures was his favorite, Shadow of a Doubt. Not all the time but a lot of the time. Uncle Charlie is terrifying.

    EDIT: bad grammar and left a word out, why do y'all let me in this place anyway??

    It's a good thing you can vote for up to three movies!

    I really think The Bishop's Wife deserves more love. Also what a cool non-trailer trailer!

    Shadow of a Doubt is an excellent movie
    Not surprised to hear that it was one of Hitchcock's favorites.

    I'm also surprised that The Bishop's Wife isn't getting more love.

    And I really need to watch The Maltese Falcon for the next round.
    Only the gentle are ever really strong.
