James Rolfe: Alfred Hitchcock was one of the first movie directors to become universally recognized. In the old days people didn't talk about directors as much as they did the actors. I guess maybe because the actors were in front of the camera – they're the ones people actually see. But Hitchcock himself became a well-known personality. He appeared in the trailers to his movies, speaking to the audience. He made cameos in all his films and he hosted his own long-running TV-show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".

abstract	James Rolfe: Alfred Hitchcock was one of the first movie directors to become universally recognized. In the old days people didn't talk about directors as much as they did the actors. I guess maybe because the actors were in front of the camera – they're the ones people actually see. But Hitchcock himself became a well-known personality. He appeared in the trailers to his movies, speaking to the audience. He made cameos in all his films and he hosted his own long-running TV-show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". His movies have a distinct style; they were usually crime thrillers, often with twist endings. He pioneered the 'suspense'-genre, used a lot of 'point-of-view'-shots, injected his own personal fears into his films. So when you see a Hitchcock movie it's very easy to identify that it's a Hitchcock movie. He's what they call an 'auteur', meaning that he's regarded as the author – the artist who made the films. Movies are a collaborate art – there are writers, there are storyboard artists, directors of photography, producers. But Hitchcock gave it such a strong signature that you get the sense that he had complete creative control and that it's his movie. He made over 50 films in his career and to this day he has influenced film-students all around the world and all of today's famous filmmakers from Steven Spielberg to Christopher Nolan. Now there are younger generations that are starting to learn about his films who might be the next famous filmmaker. I don't know why it took me so long to do a video about Alfred Hitchcock – it's long overdue. But it seems like a good time because there's been a lot going on with Hitchcock recently. There was a huge Blu-Ray set just released that has tons of his movies for the first time ever in one big package. There were two feature films based on him that just came out. One of them is called "Hitchcock" starring Anthony Hopkins that was in theatres… 'Select theaters', apparently, 'cause I didn't get to see it. And the other one was made for TV, called "The Girl", which focused on Tippi Hedren. And it was actually really shocking – it made him out to be a tyrant and a pervert. I don't know what the real-life facts are but, you know--- Not to get off topic, uhm… For those who are just getting into Hitchcock for the first time and wanna know where to start and don't have time watch 50+ films, this is it – this is where I think you should start. This is my "Top 10 Alfred Hitchcock Movies".
