Great twist. But is it widely enough known?
(I don't even remember the "twist" from Scream, and I actually finally saw that movie last year...)

One may not personally care for any one of those choices, but it makes no sense to deny their place among the top of their peers.
To leave them out calls into question the validity of the whole list.

Billy Joel was left off the NYTimes list of 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters.
That's like leaving Al Pacino or Frances MacDormand off a list of great American living actors.
Or either of the Roosevelts off a list of great US presidents.

@RushmoreLists I'd add:
Notorious
The Lady Vanishes
Psycho
The 39 Steps
(and that's just Hitchcock...)
and
Rashomon (Kurosawa)
Sunrise (Murnau)
Roma (Cuoron)
Wings of Desire (Wenders - mostly black and white)
and so many more...

@HenryTarquin @TheCinesthetic Interestingly in the case of Rebecca: the lack of name for the main character was taken from the original novel (by Daphne du Maurier) which is told in the first person.
First person narrative,narrator’s name withheld, certainly allows for intense identification for the reader.

@DannyAshkenasi @TheCinesthetic And we don't even notice she isn't named. It makes you wonder why this isn't more common. We need characters in novels to be named to keep track of them; we don't in movies. I suspect film characters' names are more for the benefit of screenwriters and production crew than ours

Movies where we never learn the name of the main character

@GRCinemaTicket My choice is to make it a Hitchcock Film Festival and see them all, along with Notorious, The Lady Vanishes, The Birds, Strangers on a Train, and ...

@TomZohar Yes, true, but he's never shown this much skin before ... 😘

I love this revival but please let’s not pretend the Rum Tum Tugger hasn’t been canonically hot since 1981
m@rippleblvd
“oh who’s winning best revival at the tony’s!!? it’s such a close race!!!” let’s just say this. only one revival has dared to ask the question “what if rum tum tugger was hot as FUCK.” and i think we have our answer

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a new music video for her remake of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose"—featuring Barbara Hershey, other celebrities, and crowds from the No Kings protests in a joyful, powerful show of resistance.
You have to see this.

@KeruboSk All my grandparents were born in the 1800s. 1890s but still 1800s. They all had my parents, respectively, late in life. One died when my Dad was 10. One died when I was a toddler. Two of them lived long enough for me to have conversations with them.

@dancindanonfilm I agree.
This should be better because Cyd is really DANCING while Rosalind just poses and looks cute.
But in the other the athletes are far more scantily attired.
So no contest really. 😊

This number is ALMOST as good as the gym number (“Ain’t There Anyone Here For Love”) in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Because Cyd Charisse was tall for a dancer, choreographers framed her so she didn’t dwarf her leading men - something you can see in the staging of her boxing‑ring number “Baby You Knock Me Out” in IIT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER.
