(11,464 posts)2. Strangers on a Train, my favorite movie of all time. Perfect in every way.
Farley Granger, who some say they don't like, is perfect.
Between this and Rope, what an amazing two-pack.
And Robert Walker's Bruno is simply the most evil and suave of psycho's.
Hitchcock's best, IMHO and that he didnt' win an Oscar is shameful.
The two's in this movie.
The casting of his daughter, the chocking of the older lady, the Tunnel of Love, the glasses, the glasses, what a shot.
And of course, the merry-go-round and the real life worker who goes under it.
As said, perfect in every way.
(And the alternate English version is even better.)
