    I completely agree with vj on 'The usual suspects'. I started liking Kevin Spacy only after that movie.

    I feel 'The Matrix' is the best movie in this year, so far. Of course, though atmost it can get an oscar for spl-fx, i feel, it was better than the much hyped Star Wars Episode-I (I have seen both the movies three times... as on today

    psycho!

    probably i am the only one who likes all the psychos (some people call me sicko ), especially the second one. the second one is one of the best social commentaries i have ever seen on the screen. perkins was as usual great. the third one was sickening. some scenes were really gross.

    talking about psycho, a couple of years before psycho was made, a movie starring janet leigh was released. the movie was "touch of evil". it's about a corrupt police officer who goes to any length to keep his city (on the border of mexico) under HIS control. a really scary one (for that period). there is a great scene in the movie where janet leigh is alone in a motel and some weird things were happening around. i would rate this a notch above psycho.

    birds was, i think, hitchcock's personal favorite. there is no musical score for the movie. all sounds were natural sounds. apparently hitchcock wanted to make the famous shower scene of psycho without any musical support but hermann (what is his last name?) surprised hitchcock with his score which gave the scene its immortality.

    in the mid 1980's i saw more than 120 movies in a year. One of them was a suspence thriller which runs in a hospital. The poster showed an outline of a hospital with the some rooms lit in the shape of a skull. Does anybody remember the title of the movie? (1983-86)

    My favorite Hitchcock movie is "The Rear Window." For all practical purposes it is a very difficult story for a movie, pretty much the entire movie is shown through the perspective of bed ridden Jimmy Stewart. And yet, Hitchcock pulls it off. It plays at two levels, the surface story builds slowly but gets very tense in the closing moments. On another level, pretty much every thing that Jimmy Stewart sees through his rear window reflects his own fears and desires about his possible married life with the gorgeous Grace Kelly. A very satisfying film.

    Viewed Psycho, was a strange experience. After all the hype about the shower scene.. well... I preferred the scene where amongst some shocking music, an old lady comes out brandishing a knife to kill the detective...that was chilling!
    The actor who played Norman bates was unbelievably good. Can someone explain where the female was trying to do with so much of cash, driving away? That missed my mind.

    we don't know when BW project is coming here but the hype has already started. can't wait and pleaseee don't tell any secrets from the movie.

    Any body love the noir 'gun crazy'(b&w) and 'detour'. i think those early jaisankar movies for modern theatres should be termed tamil noir.

    aruLarasan,
    You could have put a smiley at the end of ur posting (
    I did not find Blair witch impressive at all. It may have been supposed to be novel. But the end product did look like a home video.

    Kamesh :::: Are you referring to Michael Crichton's "Coma" ?? (but it was released in late 70's)

    'Blair Witch Project' was good ! paadhikku mEla iruttilEyE eduththirukkaanga - Beware Maniratnam and P.C.Sriram... here comes a tough competition ! The movie could have been better had it been completed in about 30 to 45 minutes ))))
