Flatulation jokes aside, Mel Brooks' High Anxiety is a hilarious romp through the genius of Hitchcock. My favorite scene is the phone booth, but I just think the whole movie is a riot. YouTube has some great clips of Mel Brooks' conversations with Hitchcock that show his great sense of humor and persona.

Firstly, thank you for this amazing course!!! Great contributions so far on this topic. A couple that I hadn't thought of that were mentioned, Night of the Hunter and Fahrenheit 451 great movies. Also, I agree that Hitchcock would've loved Fargo. The Coen Brothers have their own magic and I don't see them borrowing that much from Hitchcock I see so many movies that feature Hitchcock inspired elements.
