I like that Blow Out combines the obsession and paranoia of The Conversation and Blow Up with the story, style, set pieces of Hitchcock

haven't been able to see Dressed to Kill or Body Double yet. I didn't really like Wise Guys

Body Double is possibly my favorite, such an insane film

Get to Know Your Rabbit (1971)

This caught my attention. Anyone seen it?

I’ve seen Body Double at least three times in the past several years but it still exists in my mind as something I saw in between fever dreams as a kid on HBO in the middle of the night in the 80s.

I also missed Obsession

I never saw Body Double as a kid, but it absolutely exists in that kind of hallucinatory weirdness.

Get to Know Your Rabbit is an interesting but unfunny experimental comedy

Scarface has become weirdly underrated. It's a ridiculous movie in many ways, but has just as many brilliant elements as well.

Dressed to Kill was really good as a thriller. I liked Angie Dickinson in it, also the way it both indulges in and criticizes viewers’ voyeurist fantasies. I thought the elevator scene, the subway scene, and the shower dream sequence at the end in particular were memorable. But its stereotypically negative view of a transgender woman as a killer was very retrograde

I liked that the ending mirrored the beginning

really liked Casualties of War, I think more than his previous film The Untouchables
