Back when AMC started it was all BW's. It's where I first watched the Thin Man movies, and Arsenic and Old Lace!

I think it was my first JS movie, too.<br /><br />Dial M for Murder is nice - all of the classic elements in a tidy package.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-15607231881625352602013-11-11T06:23:54.547-05:002013-11-11T06:23:54.547-05:00To butt in, Nan and I say "To Catch A Thief&q...To butt in, Nan and I say "To Catch A Thief" is a good one to start with....or "Rebecca".MOCK!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02854497329647596811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-941946079506971202013-11-11T06:16:17.629-05:002013-11-11T06:16:17.629-05:00I don't know the early films at all.

When I was a kid Hitchcock was one of those genres we watched a lot, including Disney and John Wayne (yes, these are all film genres), but I've been working my way back toward him ever since.
