Gosh that's a tough one. I think my favorite is North by Northwest with Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. So many plot twists. The acting and action is superb. I love the chase across Mt. Rushmore. And the final scene where the two lead characters are about to consummate their marriage, when the camera cuts to a picture of a train entering a tunnel, is hilarious.

Two of my favorite scenes are the first time Eva Marie Saint and cary really talk on the train and Cary and the corn field. Classic.

Rope.A fantastic movie ever taken in a single shot.Yes single shot.See the movie and relish.

I've seen it. Classic. Not only is it shot in long scenes, it takes place in one room.It has the feel of a play.One of my favorites.

One of the Hitchcock movies that i always was very found of, is Srangers on a Train, the way that Hitchcock makes the principal character ponder about the possibility of murder with no consequences, and the characterization of is psicotic conterpart is masterful.

I would say that mine would be Rebecca.

my two favorites have to be 1. Psycho..that movie was just creepy..especially when hitchcock was talking in the beginning..2. Vertigo..I didn't think that movie was going to be good..but it actually had my heart pounding toward the end..

Vertigo is one of those films that creeps up on you.

I,ve gotta say i,m not a hitchcock expert but for me "Birds" has got to be one of his great movies! It,s just very strange and creppy! The whole idea of something as beautiful as nature attacking you is very frighting! I love the tense moments in the movie when they eventually decide to leave the house knowing that at any minute that they could be attacked. Ya great movie!

Well I'm not a big Hitchcock fan but I did like Psycho, not only the original but the many sequals of it. It could really get you going and give you the chills. He was a master at what he did. I did enjoy the Birds and many other movies he did but I also liked some of the remakes I have seen done. Ones that were done much later but still true to his stories. They did a very good job in it with Suspicion and also Shadow of A Doubt. Both were excellent movies.

To be honest I've only seen two of his films with the most famous being Psycho and The Birds, I found The Birds having a sudden cut off ending not to my liking, there was no ending to it and when I first watched it and the closing credits appeared I was left feeling cheated. Pyscho is the best but only for the infamous shower scene.


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (7498)   ranked 2 out of 7,918 in watching movies  2 years ago

Psycho sneaked up on me. The first time I saw it, it didn't scare me, it was the second time it got to me. I have only seen The Birds once. It was okay.I know what you mean. it just ends, it doesn't give you closure.

 
9. myLot reputation of 89/100. coco526 (7650)   ranked 1,861 out of 7,918 in watching movies   2 years ago

My favorite was Psycho andThe Birds.I didn't see any other movies he made.

Hard to pick one. I'd have to narrow down to two:
Rear Window -- (the freakout of tension when Jimmy Stewart's watching the killer return with Grace Kelly in his apartment is sublime.)
Rope--A lesser known one adapted from the stage that all takes place in one scene at a dinner party where two brilliant psychopaths have planned and conducted a murder just for the 'power of God' feeling it gave them--and how the whole thing unravels at the hands of their old professor and mentor Jimmy Stewart. Kind of a condemnation of Objectivism, at least as envisioned by some.
lol!

Rope and Rear Window would make a great double feature.
