My favorite Hitchcock is easy, as it's also my favorite movie. Nailing down #4 & #5 was a lot harder, as, like Matt said, there are SO many to choose from.
1. Vertigo
2. The Birds
3. North by Northwest
4. Spellbound
5. Rebecca
My remaining favorites that I revisit frequently are (in order of...
I believe the included Blu-rays are the old transfers, as they all have the exact same menus as the 2012 Masterpiece Collection, and the Blu-ray discs all have a 2013 copyright, whereas the 4K discs have a 2023 copyright.
Apple has finally corrected the problem with the theatrical cut of the movie playing when selecting the extended version. It will now play the 123-minute cut of the film when you select the extended option.
Watched this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it! Such a beautiful restoration. A big thank you to Robert Harris and all those who worked to bring this to fruition!
According to Barbra's upcoming memoir that was featured in Vanity Fair, the extended cut will be available on iTunes. This is the section where Barbra talks about receiving word from Tom Rothman (head of Sony Pictures) that they have agreed to include the extended cut with this release:

I saw it when it first came out. Though I don't remember too much about the story, I do remember liking it at the time, and it was the first gay-themed picture I had ever seen in a movie theater. In addition to Rupert Everett, it also stars a very young Cary Elwes and Colin Firth. I've...
For those who are interested in purchasing this title, it's a limited-edition release (1,500 copies) and is a ShoutFactory.com exclusive. I've already placed my order.
I felt the same way when watching it on my 77" OLED from a distance of 14'. Though I could tell it was an older transfer, I thought it looked far better than it ever has on home video. I was completely happy with it.
My Blu-ray copy was delivered yesterday. Though my 4K copy didn't have the dreaded seals on the slipcover, the Blu-ray did. :huh: I used my hairdryer to heat the seals and, VERY SLOWLY, I pulled ever so slightly while applying constant heat. It took me about 10-15 minutes, but they...
By some Christmas miracle, USPS delivered my 4K and poster 3 days early! It was on my doorstep at 7:30 this morning and was delivered separately from my regular mail delivery. My Blu-ray that shipped on Monday is still not showing as received by USPS.
My order #1012 from 4/21 was accepted by the USPS on 12/17 and is due to be delivered in California on Christmas Eve. My order #1199 that was placed 5 hours and 20 minutes after my first order has yet to ship.
Though I've never received any e-mail updates, I just received a shipping notification from them for the first of my two orders from April 21! The one that's on its way is the 4K. Still waiting for the Blu-ray to ship. :biggrin:
After never receiving any e-mail updates, I just received a shipping notification for the first of my two orders that were placed on April 21! This notification was for the 4K. Still awaiting word on the Blu-ray. :banana:
I ordered both the 4K and the Blu-ray. Though I had been receiving their newsletters about the TCM film festival screening, a Jimmy Hunt interview, and the trailer, etc., I have not received a single e-mail about the delay in shipping.
Hey Robert - How long did it take from when you received their Tax Invoice e-mail until the shipment showed up in your Informed Delivery? It's been 6 weeks today for me, and still nothing. I've e-mailed them twice and they still haven't responded.
Those of you who have received your copy of "The World of Suzie Wong" or "The Long Ships," how long did it take for you to receive your order? Via Vision sent me an email on August 23 that my order was complete, but I never received the tracking number email. I'm in California and am still...
My Bogart box set arrived in California this morning! :banana:
I'm debating whether or not to order their upcoming Universal set, as I already have 3 of the 6 titles from Kino. I do love all the bonus features and the booklet that come with the Indicator sets, so I may end up springing for that.
Sorry to hear that you're still having trouble with your 3rd disc, Ron. I just received my replacement set, and, thankfully, both my Panasonic UB820 and Oppo 203 can play the 4k disc. HOWEVER, the Panasonic will not recognize the 3rd disc of Special Features from the new set, though the Oppo...
On my Panasonic UB820, the Special Features disc plays fine, but the 4k disc won't even load (though it does load on my Oppo 203). I've requested a replacement from Amazon.
