Adding in tarathian123's votes... 8 votes Marnie, 8 votes Stage Fright, 6 votes Frenzy, 6 votes The Birds, 5 votes The Paradine Case, 5 votes To Catch a Thief, 4 votes MWKTM '56, 2 votes Foreign Correspondent, 1 vote Suspicion. Anyone care to explain why he or she chose Marnie? It's one of my favorite Hitchcocks, so I'm just interested. |

That seems better. 15 points allowed in total. Perhaps 4 selections minimum I voted Marnie. I don't think I've ever seen it. If I have I don't remember it, so it couldn't have made much impression on me anyway.  |

I should write a rule that, from now on, you're not allowed to vote against a movie you haven't seen. If you did see it and it made no impression, that's fine, but please only vote against pictures you've seen! |

SalzmankMarnie: I didn't like how Mark patronizes Marnie. OK, she is a liar and a thief, but an adult woman, after all. No need to treat her like a child.

7 votes Marnie, 5 votes Stage Fright, 5 votes To Catch a Thief, 5 votes MWKTM '34, 5 votes Frenzy, 4 votes Murder!, 4 votes MWKTM '56, 3 votes Young and Innocent, 3 votes The Birds, 2 votes Sabotage, 2 votes Foreign Correspondent, 1 vote Suspicion. I think I've got it right now. I wonder if someone will break the four-way tie for second. If not, they all go under the rule we articulated a while back. That's one sure way to speed up the game, but it may be a bit too quick. |

Maybe not a bad thing. There's still a fair way to go.

That's one sure way to speed up the game, but it may be a bit too quick. Can you clarify the cut-off times for voting tomorrow, (the weekdays it is usually after 7 p.m. Eastern time-for me). Sorry about that last vote, I was moving my votes around at the last minute and forgot to change that 5. Marnie is an interesting film on many levels but not something that I would consider great, it is good and we are starting to chip away at the good films now- something's gotta give, I remember Tippie Hedren's performance very well but not a thing about Sean Connery's? So it is not a completest film, just very interesting- or maybe just for those who like to 'watch' Hitchcock. |

I was intending on starting Round 6 at 9 tonight, when this round closes, and keeping it open till 12 noon tomorrow, and then starting Round 7 right afterwards and having it go till 9 again. Does that work?
No worries about the last vote, and thanks for your comments on Marnie!

5.Young and Innocent 4. Saboteur 3.Murder! 2.The Lodger 1. Lifeboat Grrrrr! 5 votes To Catch a Thief, A very long-time personal favorite, The on-screen chemistry between Cary Grant and Grace Kelly is palpable, what are you people cold-blooded or something? what's there not to like about this film?  Oh, just go watch Vertigo again and again and see if I care-LOL |
