Haven't seen many of these films, but should make up for it someday.
ReplyDeleteAmong these, my favorite has to be Anthony Perkins. Have re-watched Psycho recently. What a masterpiece.
I highly recommend every film on here, but I doubt Send Me No Flowers is a movie for everyone, as it's a Rock Hudson-Doris Day romantic comedy.
DeletePerkins is my favorite of these as well. Psycho is brilliant.
Great list, Perkins is just amazing in psycho, his face in the last scene is absolutely chilling.
ReplyDeleteThanks, completely agree about Perkins. He's terrific in Psycho.
DeleteI will never be able to fully comprehend why (or how) Anthony Perkins was not nominated for his timeless role as Norman Bates. It's just goddamn criminal.
ReplyDeleteSame for Sellers in Lolita. That's an ass kicker of a performance, right there.
It happens every year at the Oscars, but I can't understand it either.
DeleteSellers got robbed for Lolita, but his performance in the under-seen Never Let Go is great as well.
