yeah, close enough
What am I missing??
I don't imagine our tastes are more aligned the further you recede into the past. You just seem to like old movies and cut them a lot of slack.
What I feel like happens is I'm criminally underversed in older movies so I end up watching the hits more than anything.

Also you're completely wrong about our tastes in movies, I'd say it's a coin flip between whose aesthetic most closely matches my own on this board between you, Malloy, and Argo.

I watched both Shadow of a Doubt and Marnie for the first time recently. Neither are especially compelling, though each have their charms. I was surprised at how almost amateurish the editing felt at times for both. I had to pause Shadow and Google if the version I was watching had a missing scene at one point. And Marnie has at least one, maybe two, montages that are so awkwardly paced they play more like too-short scenes stacked on top of each other. I was surprised
I need to rewatch Vertigo. I was tired when I saw it and remember thinking is was boring as shit.
A know a lot of people who feel that way. But I fucking love it. So weird and tense and haunted and fucked up. It's one of my all time favorite movies. But I fully appreciate that it doesn't work for everyone.

Oh man, you're gonna HATE Vertigo.
I hope you tire of this bit soon, but, please, tell me why

I never saw Shadow.
You should put North By Northwest on your list if you haven’t seen it yet.
Not on Criterion, but yeah it's on the list.
