Well... I guess this is regularly...

After discussing the first movies we watched (Psycho, Taxi Driver, The Birds, Rear Window and Casablanca) we’re going to mention the movie we liked the most, the least and why we chose them.    
The BEST!!!!!

Kim: My personal favorite out of the first five was Psycho. I think it was probably the suspense that really held my attention, and kept me on edge throughout most of the film. I liked the storyline, and the use of the mother’s character. Hitchcock kept the audience guessing throughout the movie, and therefore made the ending that much more amusing to watch. Considering how old the movie is, and that there was no colour used, the editing was really well done, and resulted in an all-round classic film.  
Colleen: I would have to agree with the choice Kim made for a director but I liked Rear Window a little more. I liked the set design and the idea the neighborhood. As creepy as that is.. It was interesting how you were usually able to see what/ where all the characters were. The storyline was interesting and made me what to keep watching. The plot, as well, kept you on edge wanting to see if the main character was ever going to get to leave his home. Overall, it was a well done film; Hitchcock did a great job.    
The WORST!!!!!!!!! (But not really cause they’re all good!)
Kim: My least favorite was probably Taxi Driver. It’s not that I didn’t like the movie; it just did not hold my attention in the same way as all the others. Unlike the others, I have a harder time remembering the movie.  The movie was well done, there just wasn’t enough suspense. The movie didn’t give me anything to think about throughout the film, not to mention I probably didn’t get as much out of the movie because I didn’t understand what was going on at that time period when the movie took place.
Colleen:  For this one I do agree with Kim 100%. I’m not really sure why but I didn’t really like Taxi Driver as much as the other ones. I didn’t feel as involved and I didn’t really feel that it flowed through out the film. It left me with a very disturbed feeling and I just didn’t feel it was as up to par. I understand it was a great film but out of the all of them it was my least favorite.
