Man, I like his work. Recommend a good Jimmy Stewart flick that I can find on streaming.

I've seen:

It's a Wonderful Life
Rear Window
The Man Who Shot Liberty Vance

I can see a bunch in his IMDB that I should have seen by now.

Vertigo
Anatomy of a Murder
Airport '77
The Philadelphia Story

I don't know if it's streaming, but Vertigo is so fucking great.

Local library probably has those too.

His westerns are top notch. These are the ones that I have. Some are better than others but really you can't go wrong with any of them....well if you like westerns.

Bandolero!
Bend of the River
Broken Arrow
Cheyenne Autumn
The Far Country
Firecreek
How the West Was Won
The Man from Laramie
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The Naked Spur
Night Passage
The Rare Breed
Shenandoah
The Shootist
Two Rode Together
Winchester '73

Did anyone else read this thread title and initially think “oh no, Jimmy Stewart died”

I was unsure of the proper format.

Give me your top 3.

Jimmy Stewart is one of those guys, for me, that make just about any movie worth watching. (Robert Mitchum, Peter Falk, Paul Newman are some others).

His westerns with Anthony Mann are tremendous. Somewhat cruel-hearted B westerns, if you can track them down.

A much kinder movie (that I also love) is Harvey. That one's wonderful.

I’ve watched nearly all his movies, and these are my top 15. If you want to narrow it down, go from the top and downwards.

I'm sorry but I just don't trust anyone that doesn't have Vertigo at #1.

Vertigo has grown on me. Seen it three times, and I think it's excellent. If I have to rank them, I have no problem putting Rear Window above it. It's Alfred Hitchcock's best movie.

It's definitely his best movie besides Vertigo.

If we add North By Northwest and Rebecca, I’d agree to a definitive top four, quite a bit ahead of the challengers for fifth (perhaps The Lady Vanishes).

I think The Birds is definitive top 5 Hitchcock.

But, to be fair, there are a ton of his films I still haven't seen.

The Birds and Psycho are probably his two most famous movies, but neither really clicked for me. Both decent for sure, along with a good group of movies (Rope, Notorious etc).

Love those top four above.

Similar with me and Psycho. I like it and think it's masterfully done. But it doesn't quite click all the way for me. I really need to see Rope. I think I'd really like that one.

At least it’s on topic.

Stewart with Hitchcock...

Rope (1948) — cast: Rupert Cadell
Rear Window (1954) — cast: L.B. 'Jeff' Jefferies
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) — cast: Dr. Benjamin McKenna
Vertigo (1958) — cast: John 'Scottie' Ferguson

He’s totally miscast in Rope
