When I was a kid my mom used to take me to a small theatre by Lincoln Center to see classic movies. So my first experience with Gone with the Wind and Casablanca was on the big screen. I thank her for this and for my love of classic movies.

Today Isabel is coming over to spend the night as her hubby and my hubby are going to a ball game. On the program are my two favorite Hitchcock movies.

REAR WINDOW



AND VERTIGO



Both star the amazing Jimmy Stewart. The beautiful Grace Kelly is in Rear Window, my mom idolized her and I probably still have the Life magazine somewhere with Grace Kelly's wedding in it that my mom saved. This movie is about voyerism and murder. I think all Hitchcock's movies are classics, but this one is my favorite.

I like Vertigo for an entirely different reason. After NYC I love San Francisco. One of my brothers went to college there and My family spent a month there the summer I was 12. My dad was attending an engineering thing and we all went along. San Francisco is the most beautiful city. It is built on hills and everywhere you look is an amazing view. This movie is a love letter to San Francisco. Besides, I don't like heights either.

Whether you are a Hitchcock fan or not, or if you only know Birds or Psycho, give these movies a look see.

I love those movies!!! Rear Window is on my top 10. It's amazing and terrifying just how much you can learn about people just watching them.

I love the lady from the insurance company who comes by to take care of him. "The worst thing that ever happened to the human race is intelligence."

I'd be curious to see your favorite movies too. And it's such a kick to rewatch them now cause I see things I didn't notice before.

I'll put them in a post. ;) Then we can discuss. I'll give you a topic -- the grapefruit is not a grape.

Sorry, I'm elderly,I remember Coffee Talk.
