Neil Alcock's HITCHOLOGY is out now!
@mrneilalcock
Filmy words man. Hitchcock, Bond, Scorsese, Kubrick, Bogart, Buster Keaton, Wyler, postwar Britfilm, Basil Dearden. letterboxd.com/NeilAlcock HITCHOLOGY: A FILM-BY-FILM GUIDE TO THE STYLE AND THEMES OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK out now: neilalcock.com/hitchology
Haha oh my god @lalalandrecords.bsky.social have absolutely lost their minds, hook this batshit jazz freakout acid trip hallucination into my veins
Yes please and thank you @criterion.bsky.social
First watch of the @indicator.bsky.social Taste Of Fear Blu-ray tonight. The absolute good stuff. Diabolique-on-a-Hammer-budget vibes and a killer last act I hope (but don't think) I can forget for next time. File alongside fellow underseen '60s British curios Strongroom and Cash On Demand. 82 mins!
If you have any opportunity to watch Burt Lancaster in The Swimmer today, take it. Maybe the ultimate hot weather movie. Plus this
Inordinately delighted by this photo of the audience at a 2012 outdoor screening of Hitchcock's Blackmail, just posted by @robinalexbaker.bsky.social
I recently watched him in The Wrong Arm Of The Law, a show he pretty much steals from under Peter Sellers' nose.
Inadvertent double-bill of prison movies starring Hollywood giants this weekend; both excellent but Papillon is the one I'll come back to. Steve McQueen's performance is 😚👌

Still thinking about the absolutely thunderous sensory assault of Akira at the IMAX last week. Seen it several times, but never like this. 🤯
Absolutely delighted that @empiremagazine.bsky.social invited @marghjenkin.bsky.social to write about his new film Rose Of Nevada for the latest issue. Seen this movie twice now and it won't disappoint the Jenkin hive. The rest of you, come aboard!
By Gad sir, I was as excited as Kasper Gutman to get my hands on The Maltese Falcon and rattle off 1000 hard-boiled words on it for this month's @empiremagazine.bsky.social. In shops now! (the magazine, not the titular dingus)
David Byrne at Hammersmith Apollo last night was a long-awaited dream come true. Baffled, though, by the unspoken rule decided upon by the crowd, that we would all stand up for a Talking Heads song then sit down for a David Byrne song. Bit disrespectful tbh
Effie darling, take this down and get it to the guys at Empire before they go to press. You're a good man, sister.
It doesn't get much better than this: a triple bill of @marghjenkin.bsky.social's wildly original, quite brilliant features Bait, Enys Men and Rose Of Nevada at the BFI in April. Some of my favourite filmmaking of the 21st century right here. whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/defau...
And I'm not saying this book will help you enormously with the quiz, but I'm also not *not* saying that Hive bit.ly/3x1afNO Waterstones bit.ly/48Tz5fB Amazon amzn.to/48RgAbL More: neilalcock.com/hitchology/
Hitchquiz! Honoured to be asked to write this month's @empiremagazine.bsky.social headscratcher on Alfred the great. I'd love to know how you did, especially if you got the last question right...
I don't know why everyone is so down on AI when it's being used on eBay to produce magic like this
Movie of the year for me was probably Sinners, but it wasn't a great year at the cinema. Much preferred catching up on some unseen oldies; these are my 20 fave discoveries of '25
Annual share of this, in the eternally fruitless hope it'll get more than 3 likes on Letterboxd letterboxd.com/neilalcock/f...
🥳 @criterion.bsky.social are releasing Killers Of The Flower Moon on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD, in the US next March. Crossing everything this comes to the UK not long after 🤞🙏
