In Rifter's case, I completely respect his opinion.  He's not arguing about a rule, he genuinely believes that is the correct title in spite of everything we've thrown at him.  Beyond that, he expressed that he would be willing to change not only this, but any other Hitchcock title in his local to reflect this view.  You've got to respect a guy who's willing to mess up a whole bunch of titles in his local database.  I may not agree with how he defines a movie title, but you can't fault his commitment to the idea.

That would be real simple for Rifter.  He does not own a single one of Hitchcock's movies according to his on-line collection!

Pretty easy to be committed to something that won't cost you anything.

So Skip, using the original orange cover for Vertigo, is the actual title "Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpiece 'Vertigo'"? 

And how about "Alfred Hitchcock's production Foreign Correspondent"? 

Or maybe "Alfred Hitchcock's Production of Lifeboat". 

And I especially like "James Stewart Doris Day in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much". 

All taken directly from the DVD covers.

These must be "modified titles"! 

If I had any I would set them that way if that is what the screen showed.  And, as usual, you have nothing constructive to add, just wise-assed remarks and absurdities.  Nice of you to add something substantive.

Thank you for proving my point. Rude bullying once again. No wonder these forums have contracted to a few people:

Those who are rude and bullying, and those who are thick skinned enough to put up with it.

I simply pointed out an indisputable fact.  You do not own any Alfred Hitchcock titles.  The point is you have no "skin" in the game!  It seemed quite relevant to point that out when someone claimed you were "committed" to changing them in your local database.

My listings of other DVD cover title information was in response to Skip claiming that we should use the "modified title" rule for "Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds" because it appears on the DVD cover and is different from the film credits (interestingly, he is also arguing that it is the same as the film credits.  This must be his way of arguing both sides so that he can claim that everyone is taking a position opposite to his, regardless of which side they take).

If we are going to apply the "modified title" rule to this DVD then all of the ones that I listed could also be argued to be "modified titles".

My listing of these instances was meant to demonstrate how absurd it would be to pursue this interpretation of the "modified title" rule.

For someone who has argued that the use of sarcasm is legitimate in these forums, it is amusing that you don't recognize it when you see it!

Quick Rick, get Hal a new Tin Foil Hat... he seems to have worn his out, the crazies are affecting him again! 

Here's some construction tips for those in need.

Be aware, recent studies have shown that the use of tin foil hats may in fact act as receptors actually amplifying what you think it's blocking.

There's been some debate on the validity of these studies, though.

You need some style - the basic beanie is soo last year!

That's because he is an orangutan.  Orangutans are deceptively strong so they always kick butt. 

They also make very good librarians...
