Best Alfred Hitchcock movie?

Poll question: Best Alfred Hitchcock movie?

Slowly working my way thru Hitchcock movies. What's his best? From what I've seen, I would say Rear Window.

[Hugin]

1. They're all very good...

But, I'd say "The Birds".

[Tyrone Slothrop]

2. It's a close race between NxNW, Rear Window and Rebecca

But Rear Window has to take it.

It's an incredibly tight film with nary an extraneous shot or line of dialogue. Tense and suspenseful with a good sense of humor about things.

And Grace Kelly is absolutely radiant as Lisa Fremont.

4. I remember thinking that it was a perfect movie

I agree with you. I haven't seen Rebecca yet, but NxNW is my second favorite so far.

[Shell Beau]

3. I love him! All of his movies were good.

5. Gaslight, definitelty my favorite

and then north by northwest

[XNASA]

6. I love them all. But I really like "Rope".

I've never seen another movie quite like it.

[Left Is Write]

7. That's a toughie. I went with Rear Window.

[LanternWaste]

8. The Lady Vanishes

The Lady Vanishes. But I think it's because I get a bit starry-eyed over Margaret Lockwood, The Princess of Perfection...



Sorry. Single Guy + Springtime Hormones + Margaret Lockwood = Me-looking-like-a-werido

(But I still think TLV is Hitch's best, with Suspicion coming in a close second)
