MusicMAD gives Hitchcock's BEST film 4 out of 10?
" It's madness. MADNESS!"
Are you seriously suggesting Frenzy (1972) is Hitchcock's best film? Please state what criteria you are using to derive this answer ... (perhaps: his best film released in 1972?)
Full frontal nudity!
'Nuff said

But Frenzy has some great lines throughout! Too many to list.
Is it psycho or north by northwest? No, but its still a classic.
The whole potato truck sequence with Rusk trying to retrieve his tiepin is superbly crafted.
Blaney: "....Do I look like a sex murderer to you? Can you imagine me creeping around London, strangling all those women with ties? That's ridiculous... For a start, I only own two..!"

Not gonna ' defend' one of my favorite films with a nut job. Madman or a lunatic.
You poor misguided fool.
Fyi it was the first film he directed after censorship restrictions were lifted which meant he could FINALLY direct a film the way he wanted. Including gratuitous nudity.

A specialty of Hitch.

THEY WHO DARE
1954, Dir lewis milestone
Rhodes-set mission film where dirk bogarde's commandos and Greek guides are dropped off by sub and set off to destroy as many german planes as possible on 2 airfields. In a way, a tamer forerunner to the Gubs of Novocane. Of course, altho the mission is a partial success, it goes a bit tits up and the commandos are on the run dodging german patrols hunting them down. There is one great sequence where they avoid capture as a shepherd gets his goats to surround them. Sam Kydd is in there as always, as is a young Denholm Elliott.
Decent enough 7.7 out of 10

Actually bob that "Dunaway keeps changing into less and less attractive clothes" is an interesting observation and its true, she does wear some unflattering stuff - but she was so glamorous and sexy at that time, she couldve worn a bin liner and got away with it.

It was a squeaker. The $48 million remake (1999) grossed $69 million. (Naturally, we don't count the $55 million foreign grosses.)
The 1968 original grossed $17.9 million, placing it at #18 on the list of the year's top earners.

CEFALONIA
2005
Ive had this recorded a while - i like to get to see Ennio Morricone-scored productions. The story of the italian acqui division stationed on cefalonia. After armistice causes conflict between italian and german forces there, the italians vote to fight the germans, leading to 5000 of the 9000 losing their life, many through firing squad. Ultimately their uprising defeats the germans on the island and the acqui were the only unit allowed to return to italy under flag and with arms at the end of the war.
Dir by Riccardo milani and stars inspector montalbano Luca Zingaretti. Ennio score is of high quality for a tv film and features his rousing hymn-like main theme.
7 out of 10.
