SISTERS (aka BLOOD SISTERS) (1972) is a De Palma homage of sorts starring Margot Kidder - complete with with Bernard Herrmann score! There’s a great split screen sequence that reminds me of a scene in Marnie.
SCREAM OF FEAR (aka TASTE OF FEAR) (1961) is a black-and-white Hammer thriller in Hitchcock’s style.
Purple Noon is great! Glad you enjoyed it.
I'd recommend Le Corbeau (1943) and The Fallen Idol (1948)
Thank you!! I own Le Corbeau on Criterion so that shouldn’t be a problem!
I like the second angle more. You can see more of the posters and I think is better framing. Great video all around! Two movies I recommend if you haven't talked about them yet would be "The Bitter Stems(1956) and "Dark Journey(1937). Bitter Stems is a rediscovered Argentine Film Noir that has a Hitchcockian plot. I won't spoil it here because it's fantastic and needs to be viewed without anything given away. Dark Journey is a film with Viven Leigh and Conrad Veidt that while I wasn't a huge fan of, reminds me a bit of The 39 Steps.
Thank you Harrison! I haven’t had those recommended before, adding them to my watchlist now!
The futher back camera position is better!
Suddenly Last Summer is based on a Tennessee Williams play (same playwright as A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, etc.), so that's probably why it seems dialogue heavy. The play actually pretty much fully takes place at Violet Venable's house and I think the film made it more interesting adding the hospital location and certain scenes- really adds to the terrible thing Violet wants to have done.
Thanks Bailee!! I’m definitely gonna use the zoomed out position for future videos 🙃 thanks as always for watching!!
Hey Nathan, I have loved Tennessee Williams since I was 16, a long time ago! Do you think one day you could talk about all the film adaptations and rate them? "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" is my favorite...with, "Streetcar Named Desire" very close.... LOVE your channel...I agree, further back camera much clearer..
@@susanpolice8465 this is a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
You should do “Modern Hitchcockian Movies” for next year’s Hitchcock month
Good idea!!
Purple Noon is good. You would also enjoy The Talented Mr. Ripley which is based on the same Patricia Highsmith novel as Purple Noon. But it would not count for this list since it was released in 1999.
Hey I’m still open to movie recommendations any day, so thank you!
Woman of Straw (1964) with Sean Connery and Gina Lollobrigida, available free on Prime
Silver Streak (1976) with Gene Wilder, though more a direct homage to Hitchcock
Just found and enjoy your channel!
I don’t know how I missed this comment, thank you for the recommendations!! And welcome to maple street!
I agree about Midnight Lace. I predicted the ending and scoffed at the various red herrings except for Anthony Dawson’s part. I also felt Doris Day was a little over the top.
I dont know you know this but those two English gentlemen are the same characters in The Lady Vanishes.
Wait for real?? I didn't know that!
@@maplestreetmovies Yep.
Love the new background!
Thank you!!
Just fell into your channel and love it. I too am a great Hitchcock fan and overall classic movie fan. Can not live without TCM. This is a great topic, movies that seem like they should have been made by Hitchcock. Well one on the top of my list is 1967's Wait Unitl Dark , with Audrey Hepburn. Have you seen it . Its a great movie and has some scenes that are very Hitchcockian.
Welcome!! Happy to have you here. Yes, I love Wait Until Dark!! I made a video last August with this same theme and Wait Until Dark made that list! One of my favorite Hepburn movies.
Thank you, Nathan! I have to watch Suddenly Last Summer! Also, I remembered a mystery film I watched many years ago called 23 Paces to Baker Street with Van Johnson and Vera Miles. It's been a long while since I watched it but it was reminiscent in some instances of Hitchcock's films. There are many that I would have never linked with Hitchcock, that's why these videos are so much fun.
Thank YOU for watching! And for mentioning that movie, I’ve never seen it! I’ll add it to my watchlist.
'Sorry, Wrong Number (1948)' is very Hitchcockian. I watched it today because it has Barbara Stanwyck in it and she is just one of my absolute favourites.
It was suspenseful and intense, I constantly asked questions and the story was done through flashback and memories of characters. It had a clever script, intriguing premise, entertaining story and a few plot twists it just all screamed Hitchcock to me. It had adventurous camera shots, ones which Hitchcock would've done and the ending was very ambiguous like Hitchcock.
The film overall was decent in my opinion like a 7, I wished the story had les self the flashbacks but It's definitely Hitchcock-like
Oooh good to know, thanks for telling me!!
Check out Perfect Blue. It's probably the most Hitchcockian Anime film ever made
Thank you!
I would add "Charade" with Cary Grant - in which 'Suspicion' meets 'North by Northwest'
Sorry you've already covered that in another video!
@@simonmay27 no worries! Great minds think alike! :)
2nd angle is better. Nice to see the posters.
Spiral Staircase is great. Fantastic movie. Suddenly Last Summer definitely feels Hitchcockian.
I know what decision you're talking about on Niagara, but I really don't have a problem with it. On rewatches, it does flow better than on the first watch.
A Hitchcock-like movie you may have seen is Hangover Square. It stars Laird Cregar, Linda Darnell, and George Sanders. The ending scene is spectacular.
Excellent video. I will have to check out Night Train to Munich. It sounds fun.
I have seen Hangover Square! That’s easily one I could include in the future. And that’s good to know about Niagara!
