I have no idea how movies like The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King are in the top 250 and then this isn't even listed. Too many tasteless morons watch this, don't understand, or can't appreciate classic movies by one of the greatest directors, and gives it a low score.
shareI'm a guy who's 20 years old and I am a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock. Vertigo is in my top 5 favourite films of all time. I saw Saboteur a few hours ago and I really liked it. It's not one of my favourite Hitchcock films though, but I still gave it an 8/10. I don't know if I think it deserves to be in the top 250 though, despite it being very good, but I'm glad Return of the King is as high as it is, since the LotR trilogy is one of my favourite films of all time and I love RotK the most.
It's a shame though that many people my age can't appreciate classics like Casablanca, It's a Wonderful Life, Citizen Kane amongst others.
Hitchcock made so many movies that even the lesser ones are better than a lot of other films out there. Saboteur may not make it into my top 5, or maybe even my top 10, but I still enjoyed it. It's a good Hitch film, in a similar 'wrong man' style to 39 Steps and North By Northwest.
I also love the LOTR trilogy too, and have the box set. I enjoy films both old and new.
I do think it is a pity that a lot of younger people can't appreciate older classics, though. I've been watching Hitch since I was a teen, and I'm 31 now.
