Researching the Old

Hey everyone.
Ive just been on IMDB and you tube and was searching for some thriller films. I started off by looking at some of the old black and white thrillers because I wanted to compare how they are made compared to the thriller movies in cinemas today. So far I have been watching Rebecca which was directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940. This has a fantastic opening sequence to it and the movie itself has a sub genre of romantic thriller which is interesting. Amongst the others that I have been watching is The Third Man which was directed by Carol Reed in 1949. I didn't like the opening of this film. I noticed the sound was not very suitable for the film. it didnt make it sound like a thriller film at all. I am going to look at some latest thriller films now.
Catch you Later.
