Another great Gothic film is "The Others" with Nicole Kidman. A great ghost story that takes place in a creepy English manor.

I recently acquired a compilation DVD of Alfred Hitchcock’s works but have not been able to watch all of them yet. I did see Jamaica Inn, based on Daphne du Maurier’s book. The black-and-white film is perfect for any Gothic movie. Although it was good, I felt that the hero was not well played and of course, the script was changed a bit, which seemed to make the hero that much less heroic. There is a more modern version of this movie (which I was not aware of at the time) that I found at a book sale. I have yet to view it and compare it.

Also very good on the Hitchcock DVD is “The Lady Vanishes”. I’d recommend it to movie buffs, especially Gothic lovers.
