Ouch! This one truly broke my heart. Two of my favorite films from two of my all-time favorite directors. I had to go with history on this one, my history. I started becoming seriously acquainted with Hitchcock when I was 10 and remember getting Strangers on a Train at our local video store. I was blown away, both by the narrative setups and by Farley Granger’s seemingly milquetoast Guy and Robert Walker’s eerily “friendly” Bruno. Seven Samuari didn’t cross my screen until middle school, so in this contest I had to tip it to Hitchcock.

Yet again we have one of Hitchcock's greatest films against one of the greatest, most skillful, and most enjoyable movies ever made.
