Despite ^, i found it to be a very nice break, and a fun one, too! Although it might have been a bit easy, i still enjoyed it. Only got 3 right though.
Keep them coming buttons!

It was easy if you know the Hitchcock films in question. I was able to figure out 4 of them. To Catch a Thief I only guessed at...I didn't realize that was Hitchcock. And I could not figure out the Man Who Knew Too Much because I have never heard of it before. That was fun!
I thought it was a nice teaser, fun and easy. Good Job, and keep 'em coming
Very fun teaser! Am a big Hitchcock fan More of these please
Good One

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!
yeah ummmmmmm i nvr heard of those movies so...
Good one! I'm a movie buff so it was easy for me but still fun!
it was kinda easy.....but it was a great teaser
Unfortunately, I am not into Hitchcock, and I am not gonna lie and even say I tried (although I should have because I knew all of them after the fact)but, I did print them out for my mother who absolutely loved them. Thanks for keeping her mind going, Great work
wasn't Tippi Herdron in The Birds, not Jessica Lange?
on previous comment meant to write Jessica Tandy rather than Jessica Lange
Those Hitchcock movies were BEFORE Jessica Lange's time, darlin'! Yes, it was Tippi... Jessica was in the remake of "King Kong," back in the '80's. Hitchcock did most of his movies in the '50's and '60's... only a couple in the early '70's.
I really really like this one i got all but #4 that one threw me a bit but a good teaser all the same
didnt get many Im not a big hitchcock fan. agaatha christie is usually better. still enjoyed it though.
I only got a couple ... but then, I usually can't remember the titles of movies that I saw last week!
I only guessed 2 but ive never seen any of those movies so....
I got them all. My favorite moveie was "The Birds" which I saw in a theater with "surround sound" for the first time. Was terrified of birds for months afterwards!
who determines if they were well known? i think i may have heard of some of those, but i didn't know they were hitchcock.
oooh...I got most of them! I like this one!!!
good job!
good i guessed only the birds then again i luv nature not movies
Tippi HEDREN was in The Birds.
Buttons... you forgot one of
Hitchcock's classics. The Back
Glass Portal (a.k.a. Rear Window).
Now...where's that Emoticon with
the famous Hitchcock profile?

Easy, but a Hitchcock reference is always cordial and praised.
I WAS going to make a joke about taking my binoculars and going bird-watching (despite being in a wheelchair), north-by-northwest of some place called the Bates Motel where the showers are just KILLER... but I won't. Great teaser!
I only got them all because I'm a Hitchcock fan, but wooo hooo I got something right for once!
Thank you for the comments
What about "persons unfamiliar with each other on a passenger locomotive"? (Strangers on a Train) That was Hitchcock, wasn't it?
That was easy, but pretty good. I guess it's easy if you know his movies. I like how he makes a cameo in all of them.
How do you say it was way to easy in a nice way?
Really nice one Buttons, I enjoyed it. Yes it was easy, but it was fun. thanks for posting.
Without the Hint, I got 4 out of 5. With, I got 4 out of 5. I haven't seen a single movie of his (except parts of Vertigo), and I thus wouldn't recognize a star actor or publishing year if it bit me.
Oh, and I couldn't get that 4th one because I don't identify "everything" with "too much".

pretty cool one !
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
The second one was really easy. I knew the first one, I just forgot the title. But I didn't know the others. Otherwise, it was easy. (P.S. Happy New Year!)
cool quiz!!!
there was only one i didnt know, because i have never seen it!
there was only one i didnt know, because i have never seen it!
I don't get it.
i got them all, good teaser.
Thank you for all the comments!
I love Hitchcock and got all the answers. Happy New Year everyone! May 2012 bring us all good health, wealth, peace, joy and happiness!
Being that I saw all those movies made it quite easy. Have a safe and wonderful New Years Eve everyone.
Excellent quiz! How about this one? "Agitated Anger" ... it's 'Frenzy'! Great film.
I had to use Internet... But got them right!
Fun! I got them all right, but I think that's because it's kind of age-related-
Piece of cake. But how about 337.5°, for "North by Northwest"?
Love Hitchcock, love the teaser.
To all of those who cry way to easy, it may be for you, but if you are not a movie person it can be hard. I knew of 4 of his movies so it helped, but missed out on one I never heard of. Birds was filmed just a few miles from where I live. That was nice!
As an avid Hitchcock fan I found this teaser very easy.
As Babe said, unless you are familiar with his movies, it would be quite difficult.
I didn't look at the hint until after I solved the teaser and while it contained some info on the movies I doubt it would have helped figure out the titles.

Enjoyed the teaser; I am a big Hitchcock fan and I got all of them easily.
I got them all. I'm not sure if it's because I am a Hitchcock fan or just old!
Three years later, I got them all again very quickly. I am a big Hitchcock fan and studied his early films in college. Having knowledge of Hitchcock's films helped me do well on the teaser.
