I think The Trouble With Harry is one of Hitchcock's most underrated films. The autumn New England scenery is gorgeous and the glibness of the whole affair gives the film a really creepy vibe.Man, Hitchcock is great. I remember when I was in high school we did a unit where we listened to and watched a bunch of old horror and mystery movies and radioplays. I loved Rear Window, I also really fondly remember Rope, though I haven't re-watched it since.
Manchurian Candidate is one I'll have to put on the list, seeing as I use the term enough that I should probably see the film at some point.
If you're on an old movie kick, I'd recommend A Man For All Seasons. About a government official (and friend) of King Henry the VIII who gets cancelled for not supporting his divorce. It seems extremely relevant to our times, especially when the main character cucking and dropping his principles seems like such a no-brainer thing to do in our secular age. Would you be willing to give up your power, status, wealth, family and life for the sake of your own immortal soul? Maybe the fact that few people in our day and age would do that explains the mess we're currently in.
