Alfred Hitchcockis one of the most iconic directors in cinema history who delivered memorable classic films, includingNorth by Northwest,Rear Window, andNotorious. The Master of Suspense was a cinematic genius in his own right, but one of the major elements of his massive success was the array of talented Hollywood stars he worked with, such asCary Grant,Grace Kelly, andIngrid Bergman. It’s hard to think of any performance in a Hitchcock film that isn’t top-notch, but there are some, likeTippi Hedren’s feature film debut inThe BirdsandLaurence Olivier’s intense performance in Hitchcock’s American debut,Rebecca, that reign as some of the best performances in any of Hitchcock’s films....

The 2000s was adecade filled with technological advancements,fear,and increasingly cinematic television, but it was also a good time for film itself, as a medium.

Over the course of nine seasons,The Officeprovided some of the funniest moments in sitcom history. With a top-tier ensemble, theNBCseries captured the mundane of office life thanks to zany antics and ridiculous characters. As wild as the show would get, the office hierarchy reigned supreme. For some employees,the most coveted job at the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch was that of the regional manager. From a macro perspective,Steve Carell’s Michael Scott inhabited the position for the majority of the run, butthere were a handful of individuals who had their shot at sipping out of the “World’s Best Boss” mug....
