  • Oscar-nominated director Christopher Nolan explains why the early works of Alfred Hitchcock inspire him and why he believes 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY gets closest to a pure cinematic experience. These films along with HOOP DREAMS, TOPKAKI and ODD MAN OUT are the ones he's most excited to see this month on TCM.

    Nolan is truly a legend and even more for admiring Hoop Dreams. He should make a documentary someday.

      He has made a documentary - “Quay”, from 2015. It was about the Brothers Quay, two brothers who make stop-motion animation films.

    Nolan could be heading to a very big night at the Oscars. Definitely see his sensibilities in 2001, Topkapi and The Lady Vanishes, but love to see him gush over Hoop Dreams, one of the all-time Oscar oversights.

    Odd Man Out is directed by Carol Reed, the director of The Third Man. Was Nolan making reference to the Third Man in this video but they edited it out? He says "the later film" but there's no context to what he's talking about.
    I like James Mason but his bad Irish accent was very distracting for me.

      The cinematography in Odd Man Out is stunning, some of the best noir visuals I've ever seen. I agree about Mason's accent though, it was dreadful.

      @@IainLambert"Stolen wholesale?" Come on, it's a blockbuster. Of course it's going to carry plot elements from a well known classic film. That's what movies are these days. Now whether they are good is another story, but acting like it's theft when it's the normal hollywood process seems unfair to me

      @@echernaut oh, I totally mean it in the “talent borrows, genius steals” way. Just because De Palma knows his film history well enough to nick the silent, suspended heist imagery from Topkapi and Rififi, doesn’t mean he didn’t make it his own.

    Thanks. Topkapi an all time favorite. Delightful entertainment, Ustinov at his best, Schell is “Swiss,” and let’s not forget Akim Tamiroff, who’s so subtle, you almost miss him. Can’t wait. Best line: “Arthur, you’re a carbuncle on the behind of humanity.”

      Kind Hearts and Coronets is post war masterpiece. There are descriptions of the film by British commentators on you tube.
      By the way Guinness plays eight characters., which all get murdered by Dennis Prices character. The funny part after one of the Guiness characters dies, another Guiness character appears.
      The film is a black comedy Noir.

    31 Days of Oscar is a joke. Most of the selections are multiple repeats belonging to the Warner Catalog. The selections are a total bore.
    TCM has the gall to play the same old films over and over again.
    TCM get your act together and play better varaity of movies.
