I think Vertigo should've been number one... the greatness of this movie it's unbeatable
It is a fantastic movie, was a tough choice between that and our number one pick.
I don't think anything can triumph Rear Window! They are all fantastic though. I love Dial M for Murder, North by Northwest, and Rebecca. But the creativity and craftsmanship of Rear Window is sublime to me!
I saw Vertigo for the first time on the 4K collection set. It was the least anticipated movie for me to watch and yet it was the most transformative, mesmerizing experiences of my life. I have to agree that it’s Hitchcock’s crowning achievement.
@@samuelmarquez3757 Vertigo is tied with Godfather II in my opinion for best movie of all time. Vertigo goes places I didn't think a director could go. It's so good it's crazy.
It’s a great film; to call it crazy makes no sense whatsoever.
Have to put North by Nortwest first, quite simply because it, IMHO, is the most perfect film I have ever seen. Seen it +50 times and still the best. Plot, cinematography, music acting, actors, drama, suspense, pace, lighting everything just perfect.
My Top 10 would be..
1. Vertigo
2. Psycho
3. North by Northwest
4. Dial M for Murder
5. Rear Window
6. Notorious
7. Rebecca
8. Rope
9. The Birds
10. Shadow of a Doubt
1. North by Northwest
2. To Catch a Thief
3. Rear Window
4. Psycho
5. Vertigo
North by Northwest is one of my top 3 films of all time. I take any opportunity I can to watch it as it’s a near flawless film in terms of pace, mystery, wit, thrills, and spectacle. It and To Catch a Thief has an unrivaled cheeky, quippy sense of that only Cary Grant could ever bring, while still being immersive and charming. And Eva Marie Saint and Grace Kelly are both complex, convincing, and make for excellent dramatic and comedic chemistry. Both films are visually enthralling, especially for their time, and while the story of the former is more dramatic and complex, they each are endlessly intriguing and exciting. I know To Catch a Thief isn’t traditionally held to the same esteem as what most consider to be his masterpieces, but I think it’s clearly his second best work, and only a hair away from his best. Grace Kelly’s performance is fantastic. She’s also phenomenal in Rear Window, and so is Jimmy Stewart. Rear Window is engaging and well paced with strong acting and such a unique perspective. Although at sometimes it can be a tad silly, and the mystery is rather well, not mysterious. Even on my first watch I felt hardly any of the surprises I did with the other four on this list. But it is still suspenseful. Even without as much mystery the tension was great and kept me on the edge of my seat. Psycho on the other hand was filled to the brim with tension and mystery. I was genuinely surprised several times over throughout my first viewing, and although lacking the same mega star caliber lineup that the first three held, is well cast and intensely thrilling. Yet, I find it lacking the same degree of sheer entertainment that the other three brought, both on initial and subsequent viewings. And in a strong fifth is Vertigo, which for me did not compare with the others but was still a strong film nonetheless. The suspense was there but it felt rough around the edges in contrast.
This list isn’t set in stone as I have yet to see Dial M for Murder still. Also while I’m here, didn’t enjoy The birds. Everyone seems to love it and I like Hitchcock but it just doesn’t do anything for me.
1. Psycho
2. Vertigo
3. Rear Window
4. North By Northwest
5. The Birds
6. Dial M For Murder
7. Strangers On A Train
8. Marnie
9. Notorious
10. Shadow Of A Doubt
His movies are so good that just about any list is acceptable. For me, of these, North By Northwest is my favorite.
Same my dad showed me Vertigo and NBNW when I was a kid and they both blew my mind. I think NBNW stuck w me so much bc it’s not as adult as vertigo and I like Cary grant better.
I freaking love Rear Window and Psycho, specially the very last scene from Psycho still gives me chills
I have watched this man's movies so many times and still I go back to them, truly one of the greatest to ever do it.
1. Vertigo 10/10
2. Psycho 10/10
3. Rear Window 10/10
4. Notorious 9/10
5. Rebecca 9/10
6. North by Northwest 9/10
7. Shadow of a Doubt 8/10
8. The Lady Vanishes 8/10
9. Dial M for Murder 8/10
10. The Birds 8/10
not gonna lie but , i didn't like vertigo that much , the moment the twist is revealed the movie fall apart for me , the last act was a chore to get throw leading to one of the most disappointed and random ending ever , it almost ruin what was mostly an amazing movie
Great list but only North by Northwest is masterpice and one of 4 best movies of Hitchcock for me second best only Vertigo is better, but Vertigo, Psycho, North by Northwest and Rear Window are best Hitchcock movies, but great list
@@RED01SEA I agree. I have sympathy for both Vertigo camps: I applaud those who value the psychological themes within it, but it’s too laborious and dull for my taste.
@@freddylowe4900 Real life is frequently dull too!
my top 10:
1. Rear Window 10/10
2. Vertigo 10/10
3. To Catch a Thief 10/10
4. Strangers on a train 10/10
5. North by Notrhwest 10/10
6. Rope 10/10
7. Psycho 9.5/10
8. Rebecca 9.5/10
9. Dial M for Murder 9.5/10
10. The Man who knew too much 9.5/10
Honorable mentions: The Birds, The Trouble with Harry, The 39 Steps, I confess, The Paradine Case, Notorious
Havent seen: A Lady vanishes, Shadow of a Doubt, Frenzy, Marnie
I feel like To Catch a Thief is criminally underrated by many. Most people won’t even mention it at all when discussing his best works. I adored it and I’m glad to see someone else who was a big fan too!
My top ten are:
Psycho
Vertigo
Notorious
Shadow of A Doubt
Rear Window
Rebecca
North by Northwest
Frenzy
The Wrong Man
Rope
love frenzy too
I have watched Psycho, Vertigo, Rear Window, Dial M For Murder, Strangers On A Train, The Birds, North By Northwest, To Catch A Their and The 39 Steps. The best movie from Alfred Hitchcock, in my opinion, is Psycho.
Damn straight
Same here!!
Wrong. First half exceptional, second part slow and less interesting
1. Psycho
2. Rear Window
3. Vertigo
4. Shadow of a Doubt
5. North by Northwest
6. Rebecca
7. The 39 Steps
8. The Lady Vanishes
9. Notorious
10. Strangers on a Train
HM: The Lodger, Rope
I have watched 90% of Hitchcock movies...
To me 'The Birds ' is something from alien ❤️
Respect from Bangladesh
The little girl is in 'Alien'
For pure charm and entertainment value, North By Northwest, and To Catch A Thief are my top 2 favorites.
I never see Lifeboat on any of these lists but that’s a top-tier flick imo. Tallulah Bankhead brings all the class and sass with a snappy performance that would otherwise feel out of place in a lost-at-sea survival film but somehow it all works as the personalities of all the characters bounce off each other in such a claustrophobic setting
My Top 10:
1. Vertigo
2. Rear Window
3. Psycho
4. Shadow of a Doubt
5. North by Northwest
6. Notorious
7. The Birds
8. Strangers on a Train
9. Rebbeca
10. 39 Steps
Honorable Mentions: Rope, Frenzy, To Catch a thief, The Man who knew to much
Havent seen: Lady Vanishes and Spellbound. Didn't like or admired: M for Murder
You’ll love The Lady Vanishes, it's a mystery on a train, by Hitchcock, must see.
Invert Number 3 with 6
Much better than Mojo!
Watchmojo's Lists are always full of Crap
Love from pakistan❤️️❤️️❤️️
For me, Psycho is the best move I’ve ever seen. What a movie.
No one is mentioning LIfeboat!! Such an underated film
Psycho is my favorite.
Vertigo is his masterpiece
Best directors had 4 masterpices, some like Bergman, Fellini, Scorcese and some others but great directors i dont knows why had 4 masterpices just like Hitchcock or Wilder
“Vertigo” is Hitchcock’s finest film in my opinion. Superb Bernard Herrmann score is a standout.
Wish I could forget rear window and watch it again
Such a Masterpiece by the Master of suspense❤
My favorite Alfred Hitchcock films:
5) The Birds
4) North by Northwest
3) Rear Window
2) Psycho
1) Vertigo.
My top 10
Rear Window
Vertigo
Frenzy
North by Northwest
Psycho
Dial M for Murder
Spellbound
Rebecca
The Lady Vanishes
Rope
The only thing that (for me) makes Vertigo a personal no. 2 ever filmed - is the twist, and not the twist itself which i utterly adore by the way, it's the timing of it. If that had been revealed in the very last scene - would of turned out beyond perfect. Think about it - the main female character is gone, the male lead still in love with her finds "her" again, does everything in his power to turn her into "her" The "second" female lead has to be a 100% crazy to let anyone do all of that to her, the male lead obsessed by what happened to him not once but twice (and the second time when he was over the top in love - which made it ten times worse) finally has what he was after from the very first scene where he saw her in that green dress and a 100% after he saved her from almost drowning - and then "he looses it" - just take a close look at his face after he kisses him without knowing what You've known from the middle of the feature. The drive to the tower and the entire tower climbing to the top creates pure thriller in the upcoming moments - and you as a viewer haven't got a clue why what you're seeing is happening when he finally has what he's been after, and then, AND THEN ... You find out - what he figured out when he took a look at her in the mirror after the transformation and saw ... "HER" and then the rest plays out exactly as it did - and ends tragically as it did
If Hitch did that and the movie it self could never get more than a 10 i personally would of given it an 11 without a seconds thought.
Vertigo is not just a pure Hitchcock masterpiece - it's one of the greatest things cinema itself has ever gone through and seriously doubt any thriller will ever come close to it
3 Notorious
2 Rear Window
1 Vertigo
Surprise! Surprise! "PSYCHO" hitting the top spot. The famous or infamous shower scene was Filmed in December 1959. Containing as it does the most iconic corpse stare in cinema history.
Vertigo, North by Northwest, The Birds...wouldn't make my honorable list let alone my top 10.
My Top 10 would be:
The 39 Steps
The Lady Vanishes
Rope
Strangers on a Train
Dial "M" for Murder
Rear Window
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Psycho
Frenzy
One good advice: never forget to discover and re-discover the british career of Hitchcock
Amo Vertigo il caso paradine e delitto perfetto da ricordare il club dei 39 scalini bello io confesso ❤❤❤
" To Catch A Thief " is Hitchcocks masterpiece... period!
I have to disagree with the #1 spot on this list. Clearly Hitchcock's best picture by far is North By Northwest. It's as refreshingly new today as it was in 1959. I could go on with its accolades ad infinitum!
In your opinion it is the best, but this list isn't your opinion, neither is mine where North By Northwest is fifth.
Agreed. I find it to be an impeccable film with its pacing, twists, cinematography, wit, acting, chemistry, etc. It has to be one of my favorites of all time.
@@MiamiMarkYT that's a very wise assessment!
"Clearly" 😂. Its all subjective. But North by Northwest is #3 on my list. Which means I like it a lot. Vertigo #1, Rear Window #2. I watched North by Northwest again just the other night. It's very good. I even found appreciation of the musical score, which I like even more in Vertigo and the diagetic theme in Rear Window.
My favorite are Rear window and Vertigo.
Shadow of Doubt would be in my top 10 and for some reason I don't admire Vertigo as most do. As a kid growing up in the '50s, Dial M For Murder made the biggest impact.
ok I choose Rebecca
A great video. Obviously everyone has different tastes and opinions. I've seen 28 Hitchcock films so far, my ranking of them all is:
1 Rear Window
2 Frenzy
3 Dial M For Murder
4 Psycho
5 North By Northwest
6 Rope
7 Foreign Correspondent
8 Young And Innocent
9 The 39 Steps
10 The Lady Vanishes
11 Family Plot
12 The Birds
13 Strangers On A Train
14 Stage Fright
15 Suspicion
16 The Trouble With Harry
17 Notorious
18 Secret Agent
19 Shadow Of A Doubt
20 Sabotage
21 The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)
22 To Catch A Thief
23 Jamaica Inn
24 Rebecca
25 Vertigo
26 The Lodger
27 Waltzes From Vienna
28 Spellbound
Replace The Birds with Lifeboat
I would have out the films in the same order as you did,
North by northwest best bond film
Notorious is my fave, followed by Shadow of a Doubt and The Lodger silent version.
Spellbound not in this list even as a mention
1) Psycho
2) Rear Window
3) Dial M For Murder
4) The Birds
5) North by Northwest
That would be my Top 5 right now (it constantly changes). I can't stand Vertigo; I find it unbelievably dull. Other phenomenal ones include The 39 Steps, Saboteur, Rope, The Trouble With Harry, Frenzy - there are lots of great ones aren't there? :)
Thanks for the great video!
Your taste is similar to mine. I've been putting off watching Vertigo as i've a feeling i won't like it because i don't like Spellbound or Rebecca and find those boring, which are often thought to be great ones, but i think i'll watch it this evening.
@@jonbolton3376 I could not agree more! Good luck watching Vertigo. I found Rebecca overrated too (not nearly as exciting as some of his other films) and though I didn’t hate Spellbound, I’ve not been anxious to return to it.
Thanks. I just watched Vertigo and wasn't impressed, i'd rank it below even Rebecca. My favourites are pretty similar to yours, Rear Window, Frenzy, Dial M For Murder, Psycho, North By Northwest and Rope.
'It takes', my granny used to say, 'all sorts to make a world.'
I'm the other sort: I love Vertigo--- love that claustrophobic atmosphere that it engenders!
In my opinion:
1. Vertigo
2. North by Northwest
3. Psycho
4. Shadow of a Doubt
5. Strangers On a Train
6. Notorious
7. Rear Window
8. Rope
9. The Birds
10. Spellbound
No. Vertigo is the best.
Long Lives the Master of Suspense

4. Psycho
5. Marnie
6. Rear Window
7. To Catch a Thief
8. Notorious
9. The Lady Vanishes
10. The Man Who Knew Too Much
Rebecca💗gothic romance
Discovered a delightful 1937 Hitchcock Film (Young and innocent) with a wonderful combination of suspense and HUMOUR lacking in his later films. .
5 - 39 Steps
4 - Rope
3 - The Lady Vanishes
2 - North by Northwest
1 - Rear Window - Hitchcock's masterpiece
Rear Window is #1
In common with others, I didn't go a bundle on 'Vertigo' when I first saw it, but this is one of those rare films that improves with repeated viewings! A true classic that is only just pipped by 'Psycho' for number 1 slot!
As for those outside of the top 10, I think that 'The Wrong Man' 'Frenzy' and 'I Confess' also deserve a mention! In comparison, I found 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' to be a big disappointment
Shadow of a doubt #1 all time fav
Dial m number 1
I confess
Great list and very accurate. Hitchcock had an eye like no one else. His use of unusual camera angles and edits is completely fascinating and uncompromisingly brilliant.
I am looking forward to watching more of Hitchcock’s movies. Outside of Psycho and The Birds I never seen much of his movies. Thank you for the list of recommendations! 😊
Agree
Easily my favourite director. I have 5 of his films in my top 50 faves.
Could you do a master’s list on Kubrick?
We can definitely add this to our to-do list :)
Frenzy (1972) will always be my no.1
That’s his only claim to fame. He did it first
Bergman, Fellini, Scorcese had more of 4 masterpices
I only saw two of Hitch's early B&W films - The 39 Steps and Shadow Of a Doubt - both of which I liked very much. Shadow is best largely on the performance of Teresa Wright. 39 Steps was wayyy early even before WW2 but it holds up and is a little like North By Northwest.I agree that Vertigo and Psycho belong on top not only for a Hitchcock film but for any English speaking film. I rank both among the top 10 films of all time. Vertigo is also interesting because it is a quite long film and yet is entirely without flaws. Psycho is a shorter film but does have a serious flaw at the 2/3 mark when it encounters a shortish dull patch. P.S. I think Frenzy deserved an honorary mention on your list.
Vertigo us my #1 too, but it does have a flaw. A big one. The decision to confirm who Judy was by her writing and narrating the letter was a bad decision. It was anticlimactic.
@@JT-rx1eo My mistake. When I said Vertigo was without flaws I should have said it was a long film but never uninteresting. or dull.
Spellbound?
Psycho has always been overrated. Its good but so many of Hitchcock's are better.

I think he’s overrated. The only reason he gets credit is cause he did it first
Psycho 1,2,3,4 are just mind blowing
