Alfred Hitchcock The Master of Suspense

Alfred Hitchcock was the master of suspense whose films came to the benchmark for psychological.

Here are some of his famous quotes:
"The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them"

"There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it"

If it is a good film, the sound could go off ant the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on".

"Always make the audience suffer as much as possible"

"I am a typical director, If i made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach"

Alfred Hitchcock had influenced many people today:
"Under the strong influence of Alfred Hitchcock, thrillers often begin with a crime and the accusation of an innocent bystander. Were the accused to contact authorities, no doubt the case could be promptly solved but instead the poor bystander runs from the law thus further jeopardising life and limb".            Rick Altman

Some more examples of Alfred Hitchcock conspiracy films are:
The 39 Steps - 1935
North by Northwest - 1959
