REAR WINDOW has a commanding lead.
REAR WINDOW is a bit of a puzzle to rate. It's a good story, well done, but my nerves can't take all that annoying background noise. I know it's for effect, but it makes it a poor movie for someone who can't get all the valium that you rich kids can get. I have to shut the noise off when I know Robert Shaw is going to do the chalkboard in JAWS, so obviously I can't take this most of the way through. It is only because of the sound that I rate it 3/10. If it's silent and subtitled, if I turn the noise off and have closed caption, it goes up to 7/10.
There are control freaks in Hollywood who claim that the viewer should adjust to the artist, that the viewer should be sheep, but that is only for masochistic sheep. I'm no sheep, and no masochist, sorry. If it's irritating, then it isn't good.
