Groucho, I have seen Rope. The plot was great, the tension he build towards the end of the movie, almost the whole movie happening in a room, everything is great. but, but, for me that is not his best.

For me, Psycho is his best.

Has anybody watched "The Lady vanishes". Again, a superb plot, brought to perfection by AH.

Appu, I suggest you read the book again.
Anniyan is nothing like TMYD.

have you seen the movie?

there are three distinct personalities in TMYD. The softest is the killer and the killing has nothing to do with civil issues. you know why she is with MPD?

i have not included Ambi as the personality.. its same in TMYD.

ok, there r some links which tells the same :P, its time to find shankar's interview where he might have admitted this.. :P

Main inspiration for the movie was from Sidney Sheldon's famous novel Tell Me Your Dreams.

Rope

Fantastic performances from the lead duo and Rupert (James 'the awesome' Stewart). Of course the movie will be remembered for the awesome 'long shot' technique, but trust me the movie is much more than that.

It was like the strangers on a train being reversed. There, two strangers meet and plan the murders. Here, two guys murder their friend and try to cover it up.

The phillip dude played exactly the same role in SOAT.

The philosophical reason (for the murder) is quite hard to understand, but the explanation given by Rupert (after 45 mins) was really good.. and i ended up rooting for brandon and phillip

I believe the morality/art of murder, superior/inferior human being concept was also present in American Psycho.

and what's up with hitchcock and gay overtones in his movies??

really evident here (and also in SOAT)
