Sorcerer's Apprentice is seriously creepy - 20 minutes of "no! No! don't - OMG!"
Number Seventeen is a bit slow to get going, with a lot of over-acting in the first 15 minutes, but persevere and it's quite a good film. Some bizarre accents - I couldn't work out whether one of the females was supposed to have an Australian accent.

No. 17 is a great example of the sly humour Hitchcock used in his movies - while ostensibly a serious situation it slowly builds to a level of absurdity while retaining the suspense and drama. It takes a bit of a change in mind-set from that of today but is well worth the effort.
The Sorcerers Apprentice is a great little story from the TV series (Hitchcocks half hour?) - showing the danger of trying to manipulate someone for your own gain and how it can go very wrong.

These movies are too boring and short compared to the suspense movies today
