I did not have time to comment on the most recent “Sight and Sound” poll, but I loved this quote on Vertigo:
“Vertigo has always struck me as the Hitchcock film for those who don’t really like Hitchcock all that much (it’s long, hasn’t got much in the way of jokes and the plot doesn’t work, when he is known for his economy, wit and storytelling), or at the least wish very much that he had been French.”

My favourite Hitchcock film, by the way, is The Birds.
My neighbor Karly has one of these. She works as a gambler and she says it looks tall.
My neighbor Isabela has one of these. She works as a taxidermist and she says it looks monochromatic.
Nice write-up on “Quotes of Quotes (III)” — clear and easy to follow. For anyone who wants to sketch a story like this visually, Kling 4.0 is worth a try.
Thanks for sharing “Quotes of Quotes (III)”, it gave me a few ideas for a small visual project. Seedance 2.5 has been handy for quick video drafts.
Really enjoyed reading “Quotes of Quotes (III)” — the details made it easy to picture. I’ve been turning ideas like this into short clips with Seedance 2.5 lately.
The Tom Shone line on Vertigo being “the Hitchcock film for those who don’t really like Hitchcock” is a great pull — it captures how the film sits apart from his thriller reputation. *The Birds* as a favorite is an interesting pick; its sound design was decades ahead of its time.
