The 1950s were an era of the post-war boom and everything that came with it: even the average American could afford a television in their own home. I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, The Twilight Zone and Leave It To Beaver were popular TV shows. John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Marlon Brando dominated at the box office. Elvis Presley shimmied and shook his way into history.
Well, there are the best ones and then there are the most popular ones. And while box office data speaks, what speaks louder these days might just be search volume on Google.
I took a peak behind the scenes to see which of the many classic Hitchcock films you asked Google about the most. If was a bit difficult because so many of these movie titles have double meanings for words that have nothing to do with Hitchcock.
But here is my best shot at Hitchcock movies, ranked, using at least a teeny bit of science and data.
The agony of a breakup is undeniable. You read inspiring pick-me-up articles that suggest you exercise, drown yourself in chocolate, and hang out with your gal pals. “Enjoy your independence!” they say.
Meanwhile, you are thinking of all the things you would rather experience than your present heartache. You would rather fall into a river infested with bloodthirsty pirhanas. Get an unexpected phone call from the IRS. Live through a fiery armageddon.
Rita Hayworth. Elizabeth Taylor. Marilyn Monroe. And up there with the rest of the screen siren greats, stood that pillar of a woman.:Audrey Hepburn.
Do you share some favorite things with the inimitable Marilyn Monroe?
She was a truly a mysterious woman, and one who has enchanted generations of cinephiles. Behind her alluring image, Marilyn Monroe seemed to be a kind, gentle woman (don’t miss the story of her encounter with a gas station attendant), not to mention incredibly intelligent (the books Marilyn Monroe kept on her library shelf might shock you!).
A perfect combination of beauty and brilliance, the name "Lucille Ball" is almost synonymous with the term "screwball" -- and we love her for it.
We aren't alone. Even those closest to her shared this feeling. In the book Desilu: The Story of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Desi said: "Lucy was the show. Viv, Fred and I were just props. Damn good props, but props nevertheless. P.S. I Love Lucy was never just the title."
Many people believe that objects can bring fortuitous events of love, fertility, fortune, and prosperity….
If a man and a woman see a ladybug at the same time, they'll fall in love.
Some cultures advocate for hanging red lanterns around your bed to bring luck to your marital bed.
Wear rose quartz to attract love and passion into your life.
Fill a bunch of vases with peonies (or line your walls with paintings of them).
But if you are in search of love this Valentine’s Day, maybe you should follow Marlene Dietrich’s advice.
