Alfred Hitchcock/Twight Zone

1. Favorite Hitchcock movie - I only saw 'The Birds' once, many years ago, but I recall being truly frightened. I like 'To Catch A Thief'. I love Cary Grant and not much can beat the French Riveria. I can't go without mentioning 'Dial M for Murder'. Ok, I'm getting there, I promise. My favorite Hitchcock movie, which is subject to change, is 'Rebecca'. To see Mrs. Danvers standing there at the end while the fire is all around her, is soooo creepy.

Just a couple of tidbits:
I didn't know, until recently, that Joan Fontaine and her sister, whom I adore, Olivia De Havilland, have been estranged for what appears to be most of their adult life.
Secondly, Alfred Hitchcock didn't make 'Gaslight' but he should have, don't you think?
I never wanted his TV show so I can't comment there. After reading everyone's posts, I do find the 'leg of lamb' murder rather amusing.

2. Favorite Twilight Zone - Not sure if I have a favorite because they're all good but these two come to mind. One is the man who flips a coin and then he can read everyone's mind until the end of the show when he flips another coin. The other one is where the neighbors all fight over one family's bomb shelter. That one gets a little nuts.

Another tidbit
Something that surprised me about 'The Twilight Zone' is that Rod Sterling didn't write every episode. I noticed that during one of the marathons.
