20 best Alfred Hitchcock films
By an Amazon.com customer

	Rear Window (Collector's Edition) Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $9.95 Cinematic perfection in all aspects;THE Hitchcock masterpiece! And Grace Kelly was never so beautiful as she was here!
	Vertigo Buy used from: $999.99 Hitch's darkest portrait of psychological obsession;absolutely masterful,and Jimmy Stewart's finest performance.
	Psycho (Collector's Edition) Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $7.23 Directorially,Hitch's most influential as an exercise in technical command.Oh!and a helluva flick!
	Strangers on a Train [VHS] Buy used from: $1.88 Here's where Hitch's greatest creative period(1951-1960) begins! Robert Walker gives one of cinema's most memorable performances ever!
	Shadow of a Doubt (1943) [VHS] Buy used from: $2.90 Small-town America,and it's darker undertones(long before David Lynch's masterpiece:"Blue Velvet")depicted in Hitchcock's brilliance of subtlety as well as suspence.The entire cast is superb!
	North By Northwest [VHS] Buy used from: $2.47 Vintage Cary Grant! Eva Marie Saint's sexual liberation during the Eisenhower administration! Inimitable James Mason dialogue! Possibly Hitch's best for sheer entertainment value.
	Rope Buy used from: $5.40 Hitch's great experiment in seamless sequencing(watch your back!).One of Hitch's most deliciously subversive looks at society.John Dall is the standout here.
	Lady Vanishes (B&W) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.56 Fascinating conspiracy pic,with wonderful performances by Micheal Redgrave(yes,Vanessa's and Lynn's dad!) and Margaret Lockwood;great on screen chemistry.NY film critics:best director.
	Rebecca - Criterion Collection Buy used from: $46.56 Hitch's first American film,and a damn fine one at that! He garnered his first of 5 Oscar nominations for best director for this one(his first of 5 straight loses!-???)
	The Man Who Knew Too Much Buy used from: $5.90 Three words: Que Sera Sera! Marvelous mystery. Doris Day was a babe! in an innocuous,apple-pie sort of way-but nonetheless!
	The Birds (Collector's Edition) Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $11.98 Hitch reportedly had a little "not nice" fun at Tippi Hedren's expense for spurning his amorous advances during this film's making.Disturbing film,and great.Nature can be so disagreeable at times!
	Dial M for Murder [VHS] Buy used from: $1.75 Oh Grace! How I love thee,let me murder some meddling rooster to prove it,or appease my broken ego;either way is fine.And so is this classic of suspense!
	Notorious [VHS] Buy used from: $1.99 Possibly,Cary Grant's finest,layered performance.Social codes have never been so thwarting for bad guys,as the memorable ending effectively displays.
	To Catch a Thief Buy used from: $5.86 Pure Hitchcockian exoticism and frivolity for its own sake.A total delight,and,again...the incomparble Grace Kelly.
	Spellbound Buy used from: $6.90 Ingrid Bergman! Gregory Peck! Psychoanalysis! Salvador Dali dream sequence! Another Oscar nomination for Hitch! Another lose!
	Saboteur Buy used from: $2.36 The closest Hitch ever got(retroactively speaking,of course)to a "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" type flick.Blatant American patriotism aside(WW II was in progress),great fun.
	Alfred Hitchcock Collection, Vol. 3: The Man Who Knew Too Much Buy used from: $1.75 I like the remake better,but this one was still excellent.I mean,Peter Lorre was in it, for God's sake!
	Frenzy Buy used from: $3.47 Hitch returns to his native England,and produces one of the greatest reverse tracking shots in cinematic history.
	Marnie [VHS] Buy used from: $1.00 Not Hitch's best to be sure,but still a fascinating psychological portrait. Hedren's relations with Hitch were very tense during filming;they only spoke through mediators.
	Family Plot Buy used from: $3.83 Hitch's final film,and his most light-hearted. R.I.P.
