I was going to make a video about this movie...but then I decided there wasn't enough to go on to make a full video. I can talk about here just fine as well.

I love Hitchcock, he's my favorite black and white director, but I wasn't a fan of this movie, I don't mind silent films, but I think it was the premise, an hour and a half of a guy wanting to get married but going to every girl in town except the girl he needs to talk to?

Okay, sounds like every chick flick, and maybe it's what every chick flick is based on. I don't know.

Throughout the holidays it's my best intentions to get pass every single best picture winner in the oscars history.  Let's start with the oldest best picture winner Wings from 1929.  When the awards first started, there were 2 categories for best picture.  The first one was Most outstanding production which went to Wings.  The other category was most artistic quality of production which went to Sunrise.  The film most people recognize as the winner of that year is Wings.  Wings is the only silent film to ever win best Picture.  This will be untrue if The Artist wins Best Picture in 2012.  Wings is about 2 best friends Jack and David who are fighting together in the war.  There friendship is questioned when both fall in love with fellow worker Mary.  The film is the first big film Gary cooper did starring as cadet White.  Gary Cooper would later win Best Actor in Sergeant York and High Noon in 1942 and 1953.  Mary is played by famous silent actress most known  for It, Clara Bow.  Charles Buddy Rodgers who played Jack would go on to win a special achievement in 1988 and also a hollywood walk of fame star.  Richard Arlen who played david also has a Hollywood walk of fame star.  The films director william Wellman went on to direct the Public Enemy with james Cagney and a star is born with Judy garland.  The film is your average military film and has 96% on Rotten Tomatoes despite many considering the film to be disappointing and lacking by todays standards.
