I find it pretty hard to distinguish "philosophy" from any nu,ber of other disciplines, to teel you the truth, and that is even harder with people who write about film. With that in mind I'd reccomend taking a look at Savoj Zizek, who writes about (among other things) psychoanalysis and film, particularly Hitchcock. He has a perspective which is certainly informed by philosophy, although I don't think I'd refer to him (or anyone) as a philosopher.
