Decades

I've decided for the next few months to do "decades" polls. As in, your favorite Jimmy movie forom each decade, etc. So we're going to start off September with Jimmy's first active decade in films, or, Your Favorites 1930s Jimmy movie.

Poll closes at the end of the month, so cast your vote!

Your Favorite Hitchcock!

Here are the results for the August poll!

Question: What is your favorite Stewart/Hitchcock Film?

3. Again, there's a tie for last place. Coming in last, each with 0 votes, was Rope (1948) and The Man who Knew Too Much (1956). Both are still good movies.




2. Vertigo (1958) came in second place with 2 votes. I was kind of surprised, since this is considered by most people to be one of both Jimmy's and Hitchcock's best movies.


1. In first place is Rear Window (1954) with 4 votes! I was happy it won, but certainly wasn't expecting it!
