Nice!

I'd go:

Vertigo
Rear Window
The Birds
Psycho
Lifeboat
North by Northwest

But those are the only ones I've seen so far. And all are amazing. AMAZING.

I'll throw my two cents in.

1. North by Northwest
2. The Trouble with Harry (I think there's a strong case to be made that this is one of the most profound films ever made about life and death.)
3. To Catch a Thief
4. Vertigo
5. Saboteur
6. Rear Window
7. Rope
8. Rebecca
9. Foreign Correspondent
10. Psycho
11. Spellbound
12. The Birds
13. The Lady Vanishes

I've noticed I only tend to like light-hearted Hitchcock, hence why I haven't seen all that many of his movies.

There's still a lot of Hitchcock I haven't seen. I need to watch The Trouble With Harry. I keep hearing good things.

I've had this long term thing with Hitchock: I only watch a new Hitchcock movie if it shows up on my radar frequently in a short time span. It's a dumb game, I know. But if The Trouble With Harry comes up one more time in the next week or so, I'll make that the next one I see.

Oh dude i LOVE Following. Chris Nolan hasn't made a bad film. Following isn't as entertaining on multiple viewings as the Batman movies are, to me. That's the only reason I put it last. I'd still give it a 7.5/10. Easy. Just something has to be at the bottom, unfortunately.

I get that - that's kind of how I felt about Insomnia - love the film, but something had to drop to the bottem

I'd put a divide between the top four and the bottom four. And those bottom four could probably move around on any given day.
