Hitchcock at Belcourt
The Belcourt Theater is hosting a Hitchcock in the 50’s celebration all this month. The festival started last weekend and continues every Saturday and Sunday in June at noon
You can head to the Belcourt and see some of the definitive works of one of the greatest directors of all-time.
Here’s the schedule of films:
June 9, 10 - Dial M for Murder (12:00, 4:00)
June 16, 17 - To Catch a Thief
June 23, 24 - Vertigo
June 30, July 1 - Pyscho
All of these are great examples of Hitchcock’s work, though I’d argue the best two are at the end of the month. (Last weekend kicked off the event with one of my favorites Strangers on a Train).
Sure, these films are all out on home video and DVD, but there’s just something about seeing them on the big-screen from a film print that can’t be beat.
And let’s face it–all of these films are going to be far more satisfying than most of the stuff that passes as summer blockbusters–esp. that silly Pirates movie…

Vertigo is such a good film, and very haunting, I’d recommend everyone going to see it.
