1. Vertigo.

[Ava]

2. i'll second Vertigo

one of my all time favorite movies :hi:

[realisticphish]

3. Maybe Vertigo, and the first half of North by Northwest

he gave away the twist WAY WAY too early in that one

[Nevilledog]

4. Notorious

I love that one just a smidgen more than the rest. TCM had a Hitchcock marathon yesterday. Hubby's in Wisconsin until tomorrow so I got comfy on the couch and watched Marnie, Psycho, North by Northwest, Notorious, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rear Window and Vertigo, back to back. Topped off with some Pepperoni and Feta Pizza. It was an all around good day.

14. TCM had a Hitchcock marathon yesterday

I missed it. I have seen them all, but wish I had known and I might have recorded some movies again. Well, Hitchcock will be here for many more years to view, as he is timeless, eh?

"Dial M for Murder" was a favorite MOVIE of mine. Did they show that one?

Marnie, The Birds and Psycho were a few more. Hard to pick a favorite.


Don't forget his TWO TV series: "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" and "Hitchcock Presents".

5. Another vote for Vertigo.

I have most of the Hitchcock films on DVD, and Vertigo really was Hitchcock at his peak. I'd give North By Northwest a close second, though.

6. Rope

Hi,
I love Rope, a lot in that one for me. My second favorite would be Strangers on a Train.

Peace

[gbate]

19. Rope is probably my favorite movie of all time.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. The Family Plot

His last film, and clever, funny...

:hi:

[Dem_4_Life]

30. I love that one

Most people I know have never seen and it is one of my faves.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. I was really being silly...

But it was good!

Some clever plot twists too...

:hi:

[mockmonkey]

8. North By Northwest

followed by Frenzy, Rope, The 39 Steps, and The Lady Vanishes.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. +1 to North by Northwest. -nt

[Stuart G]

36. Yes, North By Northwest...nt

[Ishoutandscream2]

37. Yep. My all time favorite.

[BurtWorm]

9. Rear Window

probably. I've seen it most. Never get tired of it.

Here's the opening set-up:

[Beaverhausen]

10. a tie between Rear Window and North by Northwest

[pengillian101]

11. How could I ever choose?

I loved all his movies PLUS TV's "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and the "Alfred Hitchcock Hour".

I have seen all of them numerous times. I could pick parts of every one as a favorite.

When we first got satellite TV, I recorded all of Hitchcock's works and watched the movies again.

BUT, as a bonus - recorded "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and the "Alfred Hitchcock Hour" ---- don't miss seeing those classic TV series shows.

:hi:

[pengillian101]

13. PS - Dial M for Murder is a favorite - great suspense!

[WinkyDink]

29. My fave, too, BUT------AAACK! Your photo is of Charlize Theron in "Vanity Fair"!

1954 original:

[Parrcrow]

12. Suspicion n/t

[csziggy]

15. "The Trouble with Harry" - not very well known because it was a 'lost' Hitchcock film

But funny and very subtle. John Forsyth, a very, very young Shirley McLaine in her first film, and Jerry Mathers before "Leave It to Beaver" with a terrific cast of character actors.

Reputedly it was one of Hitchcock's favorites.

[fishwax]

33. IIRC, it was "lost" because

Hitchcock bought back the rights (one of a few films on which he did so) to provide as a legacy for his daughter--so then it wasn't released again until after he'd died.

I like that one too. It's a fun movie.

[csziggy]

35. Yes, there were five or six - "The Man Who Knew Too Much" ws one, I think

While I like almost everything of Hitchcock, "Harry" is my favorite because it is so different with such a sly wit. And Jerry Mathers is terrific in it.

[Auggie]

16. Frenzy

[Mr. Ected]

17. The Birds

The most frightening movie of my childhood.

[femmocrat]

24. Mine too. It's one of the few movies that I never get tired of!

I must have seen it about 20 times.

[RebelOne]

18. Psycho. Nothing could beat that film when it came to horror. n/t

[dynasaw]

20. Any Movie with Grace Kelly

Hitchcock's favorite blonde.

[NYCGirl]

21. Strangers on a Train

with Shadow of a Doubt coming in a close second place...

[NJmaverick]

22. Birds

[ArnoldLayne]

25. Rear Window

[Bucky]

26. The Man Who Knew Too Much -- featuring Doris Day singing her iconic song to save her son

It could be Hitchcock's only musical, albeit a musical with only one song in it.

[dembotoz]

27. 39 steps

not by anymeans his best, but rare enough that when i see it listed i really try to see it.

north by northwest i think might be his best

[Vidar]

28. Psycho & The Trouble with Harry

[Dem_4_Life]

31. It's hard to pick one favorite.

It is a tie between Vertigo, Psycho and Rear Window.

[Jade Fox]

34. Shadow of Doubt

I like the plucky young heroine.

[DeepBlueC]

38. well, it's NOT 39 steps

I watched it today and all I can say is it is a movie about espionage where everyone tells the TRUTH. How crazy is that? "I'm wanted for murder, You've got to help me..." and the line WORKS several times.

:wtf:
