First, here are some basic film sites. First off, we're going to do what the 'Jump Cut' website does, and point you directly to what may be the best, most complete, of all film-links pages, that at 'Senses of Cinema' (and which is regularly updated): http://www.sensesofcinema.com/links.html
Speaking of 'Jump Cut', they now have the bulk of their print issues available online: http://www.ejumpcut.org/home.html
The Masters of Cinema site should be a regular stopping-place for all serious cinephiles, not least for its regularly updated 'Worldwide DVD Calendar': http://www.mastersofcinema.com/.
There is also a dedicated site for just Hitchcock DVDs: Alfred Hitchcock DVD Information Site
And for information about quality articles on top directors, including Hitchcock, available on the Internet, click here: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/filmdirectors/
Now, for serious film discussion, a not-to-be-overlooked site is the already mentioned Senses of Cinema - an online film journal
Ditto the newer Rouge site, also Australian, dedicated to fine writing on film: ROUGE.
Completing our (somewhat inadvertent) mention of Australian sites, there's the quality SCREENING THE PAST site, an international Web journal of visual media and history published from LaTrobe University.
Next, there's that basic resource, the Internet Movie Database. Here are links to both the UK and US sites. Choose one: Welcome to the IMDb (UK) or Welcome to the IMDb (US).
Okay, that's enough general film links for the moment. Now to some Hitchcock sites. The obvious first place to point you is The Definitive Alfred Hitchcock Links Page, as it used to be known, now incorporated in the tdfilm.com site: tdfilm.com. (There's a wealth of Hitchcockiana being compiled there.)
Ken Mogg's long profile of Hitchcock's life and work has been called 'definitive': http://www.sensesofcinema.com/contents/directors/05/hitchcock.html
What are often fascinating are sites that compare film locations with the way those locations appeared in the film itself. For Hitchcockians, first stop should be Nándor Bokor and Alain Kerzoncuf's well-informed and wide-ranging Hitchcock Locations pages: http://www.daveyp.com/hitchcock/wiki/Locations
Likewise, the site called Vertigo - Then and Now is splendidly done: http://www.basichip.com/vertigo/main.htm
And for lovers of British films, including Hitchcock's The 39 Steps and Frenzy (with The Man Who Knew Too Much in the pipeline), definitely consider subscribing to Reel Streets: http://www.reelstreets.com/index.htm
Two regular Hitchcock blogs are ours on this site (News and Comment page) and Joel Gunz's on his Hitchcock Geek site (http://www.joelgunz-hitchcock.blogspot.com/).
Al Chafin runs his highly pragmatic 'www' Hitchcock site to point Hitchcock aficionados towards items (DVDs, scripts, etc.) that they may never have known were available. Many of the items can be obtained from Al himself. For example, do you need a DVD of Hitchcock's first film, The Pleasure Garden (1925)? Al has two versions of it, both slightly different from the other. Click here:www
For basic information about Hitchcock's TV work, and more, visit our friend Patrik Wikström's informed, and informative, site: The Master of Suspense. It includes a list of Hitch's cameo appearances in his films.
A huge and valuable site, consisting of Hitchcock movie posters - in various languages - is Martin Dawber's Alfred Hitchcock Movie Posters.
Don't miss visiting the always-interesting Bernard Herrmann Web Pages. They include material provided by Steven C. Smith, author of the superb biography of Herrmann, 'A Heart at Fire's Centre' (1991).
The excellent fanzine 'Scarlet Street', dedicated to horror and film culture generally (often in a campy way!), sometimes publishes Hitchcock-related material, and now has its own website: Scarlet StreetWe're impressed by the useful plot synopses of various films, including some by Hitchcock, included in 100 Greatest Films.
Also, don't overlook the many film-related Web and Usenet newsgroups. May we recommend our 'advanced' Hitchcock discussion group (co-moderated by Ken Mogg and Professor Tony Williams): http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/hitchen2/. A sophisticated group for those who want to discuss auteurs and the art of the film in general is another Yahoo Group, a_film_by. If your ISP (Internet Service Provider) doesn't seem to have a particular Usenet group on its server, make a request for it. Most ISPs will try to oblige in this sort of matter. Otherwise, you can go to Google on the Web and use its 'Groups' facility.Next, some miscellanea. Anyone who is intrigued by our 'Hitchcock and Dickens' page, and wants to visit an absolutely basic website devoted to providing information on the famous British author, click here: The Dickens Page: Charles Dickens (1812-70)
And if you're intrigued by the references on the present site to the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, here are a couple of links to some essays about him. An excellent introduction to Schopenhauer has recently gone up on the Wikipedia website: Arthur_Schopenhauer. And another long article is the useful "Schopenhauer and Freud".
