Favorite Hitchcock Film

[Scissorhands]

I can't list every single thing that the man has made.. but I figured if I stuck to the main ones there shouldn't be any problems.. but I put "Other" on there just in case there may be something of his that I may have never even heard of.

Anyways.. my fav would have to be Psycho.. duh. But in the past few years I've been watching Vertigo alot and it's really REALLY good.. so I would recommend that after Psycho and then probably Rear Window to anyone wanting to see some good Hitchcock films.

[Kara Strode]

was a hard one...I like Lifeboat, Spellbound, Strangers on a Train, North by Northwest, Psycho, and the Birds (I'll like more when I've seen more)

but I went with North by Northwest :)

[MischievousSpirit]

My favorite is Psycho. After all, it is the Granddaddy of Halloween. :)

[MyersFan927]

Rear Window is above all the others I've seen so far...

[gerry d]

I've always liked Rear Window.A simple story & layout which works really well.

cheers

[*wanted*]

Psycho 60' coz its the only one ive seen ( i think)

[Hallowicked]

Psycho gets my vote because it's one of my all time favorite movies.

Next would have to be Rear Window, The Birds and Vertigo.

[King Sly Joker]

Vertigo is a good movie.The more you watch,it just gets better and better...

[Kara Strode]

I want to see more Hitchcock movies..Vertigo is one

[HalloweeN63]

The only one I know of is Psycho, lol.. so Psycho gets my vote.

[Chomp_on_this]

Man, so many of these are good...Spellbound, Vertigo, Psycho, Birds, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window...its really a hard decision. But since most will go with Psycho, I'll be different and go with Vertigo. heh.

A movie sis,you wont be dissapointed with...:p

[Donnie Darko]

Psycho gets my vote cause it was the first Hitchcock movie id ever seen long ago, and the fact that ive seen it SO many times over the years.

theres something really interesting about Norman Bates, the fact that we can all relate to "going mad sometimes" and doing stuff we later regret and feel bad for. everyone has got mad and exploded and regretted it 6 minutes later.

the original movie made a really good base for the 3 other movies if you ask me, i like the franchise as a whole and i have since i was really a kid, theres some real distinctions in there that make it different from any other horror franchise out there.

Psycho was so good it makes me want to see the sequels.

The Psycho sequels are great. I highly suggest checking them out... but please stay away from the remake ;)

[Michaeleon]

Eh, I had to go with Psycho. I remember the first time I seen it, the ending was indeed a surprise to me. I had thought all that time the crazed mother was wrecking havoc. Mind you this was like eight years ago...

To be honest though, I have only seen Psycho, Rear Window, and The Birds.

[NeewollaH]

I'm all about Frenzy. First Hitchcock movie I saw after 'Psycho' and I loved every minute of it. The shots he does, the scenery, the acting, perfection. That and The Birds are my favorite Hitchcock movie. I love Rear Window, but I know all you people are going to vote for that or Psycho, so Frenzy gets the vote.

[Icebreaker_8605]

Psycho
Frenzy
Dial M for Murder
Rear Window
The Birds
Notorious
The 39 Steps
Shadow of a Doubt
Suspicion
Rebecca

[Creepingmouth]

Rear Window

That's a pretty good movie, the only one I own besides Psycho taped off TV.

Did anyone ever see the Hitchcock movie Saboteur? The end takes place on the Statue of Liberty. I really want to see it but can never find it in stores.

[Beetlescott]

Physco has always been one of my favorites. "But me in the chair by the window Norman, remember a MOTHER only truly loves you"......

[totempoll]

enjoyed rear window.. in 8th grade i remember takin a class every ftriday and it was called horror with hitckock and we would watch the movies (elective)

[Mark Warner]

I would have LOVED to take that class!

i took it for a year but could of for 3, we watched physcho and birds and all of em, i think their should be a forum for hitchcock

[Kara Strode]

holy lord, TCM has been showing Hitchcock movies today. I caught Rear Window (loved it), then Psycho came on, then Marnie...there's more up tonight starting at 1130 CST, maybe earlier...I just know Vertigo is on tonight

[Horror Kitten]

Psycho and The Birds

I forgot to add Saboteur to my fave Hitchcock films. That's another good movie. It contains that famous Hitchcock element : the wrong man accused who's trying to prove his innocence. As a matter of fact, Saboteur is airing this month on Turner Classic Movies on Oct 29. :)

[MM78]

That was a hard one, i chose psycho...but i also enjoyed the birds, and many others he did.

ARGH! What a time to be out of the country! Marnie's been on my "to-see" list for some time...

[Silverpsycho]

I will admit that I have not seen most of the films on that list, but I know in the end that Psycho would still win my vote since I love it so much. I will have to pull out my dad's Hitchcock collection and start watching more of them because I really do enjoy the Hitchcock style.

[strode1031]

I would definitely say Rear Window. It kept my interest the whole movie and I couldn't wait to see what happened next.

[Chuck D]

Frenzy

[scarymoviechap]

I voted Psycho cuz its one of the greatest movies ever made. I've never seen Lifeboat. Is it any good???

[Icebreaker_8605]

I figured I'd put this in here. TCM is having an Alfred Hitchcock 39-film tribute.

Lifeboat is a great film. The Special Edition DVD was recently released so you might want to check it out.

[WildHeart]

:eek: I Like " Psycho " And " The Birds " Best :eek:

[vamp1227]

psycho 60....:)

[mszebra]

Out of that list- rear window.

overall though- Notorious. Can't get better than Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant.

Really? cool, thanks.

[FooFighter09]

Psycho is the by far the best.

[Wille]

Psycho is the best Hitchcock film of all-time! It's the first slasher movie. And then Black Christmas and Halloween came.

[Darth Tyranus]

Psycho all the way.

[zombie commando]

I think Vertigo is one of the most perfect films of all time. There is so much going on, so much subtext, that I find myself totally immersed in it every time I watch it.

[The General]

It has to be Rear Window, for me. I was watching it last night, actually.

[Chuck D]

Frenzy and Rope are now tied for my favourites.

[wyatt s]

For my money you can't beat Rear Window.

[Rich]

It is hard to choose between Psycho, The Birds, and Rear Window. I had to stick with Psycho in the end, because it basically created my favorite movie genre (or sub-genre).

[mattc_85]

My favorite has to be Vertigo, I can watch that movie over and over and there is always something new that pops out at me. Rear Window is a close second followed by shadow of a doubt.
I have been watching some more Hitchcock recently, I just watched Rope last night. Pretty good movie. I would recommend it to those who haven't seen it.

[The Clash]

i liked ''Psyco'' and ''The Birds'' the most!

[Kubrickbuff]

Rear Window or Rebecca.

[halo thirty one]

Psycho is my favorite but how can anyone not also enjoy Vertigo (2nd favorite), North by Northwest, Strangers on a Train, The Birds or Rear Window? Speaking of The Birds, I just read on IMDB that Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes is working on a remake of that movie. UGH!

[zane1974]

I would have to say honestly the birds is my favorite.

[Siouxsie]

Vertigo.

My least favorite of his I've seen would be Topaz.

[MichelleMeyers]

weird note about Birds.. it was noted in one of my vis comm classes as being one of the only movies with a 'mistake' in it. Near the end when the character is sitting on the bench and the birds are gathering behind her she looks to the side (where we know from context is where the building is) but instead the camera shows the birds.. generaly when a character looks in a direction the next shot is what they see. and we know she didnt see the birds. i just found that interesting.

[MyersFan927]

I wanna see The Birds II just for laughs :D I love small-scale mid-90s STV horror lmao

[MyersDawg]

PSYCHO! PSYCHO! PSYCHO! hehehe...its one of my favorite movies. One of Hitch's masterpieces.

[discvader]

North by Northwest...it's the one I can watch the most. But picking one is like picking your favorite child. Also, James Mason is just soo suave...

[mattc_85]

I wanna see The Birds II just for laughs :D I love small-scale mid-90s STV horror lmao

I just now remembered seeing that when I read your message. I don't remember much besides the fact that Tippi Hedren has a nice cameo. Hope you enjoy it!

[horrornut]

My money goes on Rear Window followed by North By Northwest.

[Hallow's Eve]

Psycho because it invented the Slasher film. Second would be Vertigo, one of James Stewart's best roles.

[urbanchaos]

Psycho is my favourite from the master closely followed by The Birds

[MMyers89]

Had to go with North by Northwest.

[brain eater]

Im going to have to say..The Birds.

[Shane]

Psycho is the only one I've seen.. so it kind of wins by default.

[Desperado Dave]

Tough. It's between Strangers on a Train, Rope & Rear Window.

I voted for Strangers on a Train since that was the first to come to mind. But it all depends on my mood, but yeah Strangers was brilliant.

[EvilOnTwoLegs]

Damn tough call here, but I had to go with North By Northwest.

Honorable mentions include Suspicion, Spellbound, Rope, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, and Frenzy.

[mcilroga]

LOL @ the poll thinking I'm actually going to choose between Strangers On A Train, Dial M For Murder, Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds and Frenzy. It must be drunk.

Can't believe Hitchcock's favorite film of his is Shadow Of A Doubt, when you have these excellent aforementioned choices. Hahaha. :D

[Man In Black]

Rear Window for me.

[JasonLives]

Psycho is definetly one of my all time favorite horror films, but I decided to go with The Birds simply for it's creepiness -- and that fact that it made me never look at Raven's the same way again.

[plo koon]

hahaha, most people agree with me, psycho pwns

[Ashleigh]

The Birds
Dial M For Murder
Rear Window
Psycho
Frenzy
North By Northwest
Strangers On A Train
Vertigo

Seriously, I cannot just pick one. lol The ones listed above are my favorite Hitchcock films. Some of my favorite films period. :)

[OmegaRex]

I have many favorites. I’ve been watching Frenzy and Vertigo the most lately.

[mmyers78]

My favorite Hitchcock movie is Psycho.

[JaSoN KiLLa]

id have to go with The Birds..iTz one of my favorites

[mattc_85]

I just got finished watching Topaz. This is a truly underappreciated Hitchcock classic. It kept my attention for the entire 2+ hours. Tons of characters and tons of plot. I really enjoyed it.

[Dr Hoffman]

Psycho is a classic and incredibly influential on the modern horror film but my all time favourite Hitch film is the 39 Steps, thrilling, funny and a clever plot, with a sterling performances

[horrorqueen7]

I am HUGE fan of Psycho. That is by far my favorite Hitchcock film.
