I hope everyone has seen Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window
Nope. In fact, I've only seen 1 of the last 7 haiku films, hence my low participation rate
I went to your reviews' pages before I selected this film, and you reviewed it. I assume that if you can write a four word film review, you shouldn't have a problem with a little ol' haiku, bife. I had never seen "The Big Lebowski," either, and placed 1st in that round. I've, also, received a few 2nd and 3rd places in other rounds for films I haven't seen. If anyone else wants me to change the film, say so, and I'll choose something else. We need all the entrants we can muster, so I wouldn't want to chase anyone away by film selection.

I think these folks are just yanking yer chain. REAR WINDOW is an excellent choice, and I'll be back later one with a haiku to prove it (provided I can come up with one, that is).
If Raymond Burr had had the sense to draw his drapes there would be no film.
Funny, I've always wondered about that myself. I think he only draws the curtains once--whilst dismembering the victim. While the plot revolving around the character of Raymond Burr is certainly interesting, the more I see this film, the more I find the other characters across the way (the building opposite James Stewart) facinating in their own right.
Has anybody ever seen the made-for-TV remake, starring the paralyzed Christopher Reeve? Boy does it suck!
Okay, its no Hitchcock with Jimmy Stewart, granted - but it didn't suck. I think that it was very well adapted, actually. And I think that they did a good job using his disability.
But truth be told - I didn't think Reeve was that fantastic of an actor before the accident. I always found him pretty... stiff (which worked to some extent for the Superman movies). Of course, you don't expect a guy paralized from the neck down to be terribly animated and to be totally honest, that Rear Window could well have been his finest acting hour.
