Netflix is set to enhance its streaming library by adding numerous Alfred Hitchcock classics on June 1, 2023. This initiative coincides with a six-week special series at the Paris Theater in New York, titled "HITCH! The Original Cinema Influencer." The lineup includes iconic films such as "Vertigo," "Rear Window," and "The Birds." While Netflix's algorithm emphasizes contemporary content, it often overlooks classic cinema, missing the chance to connect viewers with films that inspire modern directors like Jordan Peele and Christopher Nolan. Bill Hader recently praised Hitchcock's timeless appeal, highlighting its relevance to new generations.
The influx of Hitchcock on Netflix is part of a special six-week series, "HITCH! The Original Cinema Influencer" featuring 60 films, 36 of which are Hitchcock's.
Despite Netflix's reach, the algorithm-driven platform doesn't sufficiently promote deep dives into classic cinema, missing opportunities to engage viewers with timeless works.
