opinion: Richard Chamberlain was the first Bourne in a TV adaptation "The Bourne Identity (1988)" before Matt Damon became the new and famous "The Bourne Identity (2002)". Later it continued with "The Bourne Supremacy (2004)" and "The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)" the amazing final chapter for the saga.

The Ghost Writer (2010)

An unremarkable ghost-writer has landed a lucrative contract to redact the memoirs of Adam Lang, the former UK Prime Minister. After dominating British politics for years, Lang has retired with his wife to the USA. He lives on an island, in luxurious, isolated premises complete with a security detail and a secretarial staff. Soon, Adam Lang gets embroiled in a major scandal with international ramifications that reveals how far he was ready to go in order to nurture UK's "special relationship" with the USA.

Hitchcock/Truffaut (2015)

"... I’m going through a Hitchcockian period; every week I go and see again two or three of those films of his that have been reissued; there’s no doubt at all, he’s the greatest, the most complete, the most illuminating, the most beautiful, the most powerful, the most experimental and the luckiest; he’s been touched by a kind of grace. François Truffaut, letter, 1961 ..."

But somehow I got fascinated how this guy could produce this kind of fear on a black and white movie, when everybody wants Technicolor. … Continue reading Sir Alfred Hitchcock on my movie library
