Oscar-nominated director Christopher Nolan explains why the early works of Alfred Hitchcock inspire him and why he believes 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY gets closest to a pure cinematic experience. These films along with HOOP DREAMS, TOPKAKI and ODD MAN OUT are the ones he's most excited to see this month on TCM.
