REAR WINDOW vs NORTH BY NORTHWEST for favorite HItchcock Film

It has finally come down to the final two films...Rear Window takes on North By Northwest for favorite Alfred Hithcock film on All Good Things. Rear Window took down The Lady Vanishes 10-3 while North By Northwest beat Rebecca 11-3. Both films are number 2 seeds that won their eras. Rear Window won the 50's era while North By Northwest, which had to compete in the 60's due to a shortage of films available by Hitch won that era. This match would have happened in the 50's final match most likely between these two loved films. So now we finally get to find out which one is more loved. Well here on All Good Things anyway. The match begins immediately and will run thru Sunday 5 pm EST. Good luck to both films. And thanks to everyone that voted during this tournament. And this will be my last tournament for this year. But I will be back with an expanded favorite classic actress tournament in March. Instead of 64 women competing, there will be 132. Oh my.

North By Northwest becomes last film to join the final four of the favorite Hitchcock film tournament

In the 60's era final match, North By Northwest (which got a waiver from me to play in this era due to a shortage of Hitch films for in this decade) easily defeated top seed Psycho 11-4 to earn the last spot of the final four. The film joins The Lady Vanishes (30's era winner); Rebecca (40's era winner); and Rear Window (50's era). I'm curious to see what would have happened if North By Northwest competed in the 50's era and if it battled Rear Window, which film would win. Those two films still could meet in the championship match. But let's see how the semi-final matches go first. The Lady Vanishes will take on Rear Window in match 1, while Rebecca squares off against North By Northwest in match 2. The final four starts immediately and these two matches will run thru Thursday 7 pm EST. Good luck to all four films.

It's PSYCHO vs NORTH BY NORTHWEST for the final spot in the final four of Favorite Hitchcock Film tournament

In the 60's era of the favorite Hitchcock film tournament, top seed Psycho beat fourth seed Marnie 10-3 while 2nd seed North By Northwest defeated 3rd seed The Birds 11-2. Both Tippi Hedren starring films got showned the door. And 1959 release North By Northwest was included in this era because there was not enough films made by Hitch in the 60's. Looks like that paid off for NBNW. So now Psycho will battle North By Northwest for the final spot in the final four. The match begins immediately and will run thru Tuesday 8 pm EST. Good luck to both films.

1 PSYCHO (1960)
