BellaOnline Forums TV and Movies Classic Films Favorite Alfred Hitchcock film?

North by Northwest and Rear Window

The Birds is my fave as well.

I would have to say "Vertigo" or "Rebecca". I am torn, because Kim Novak is so good in Vertigo, but Rebecca is just such a great story.

The Birds is number one. I'm also strangely drawn to Psycho even though I STILL close my eyes at the shower scene...lol...

The Birds by far is my fave Hitchcock movie.

Oh you just hit another nerve! Love love love anything Hitchcock and as we well can see one cannot remake those either!

I will watch any Hitchcock anytime and I think I may have passed this on to my children too! They love them too!
He was brilliant in many ways.

When we were in school, we had a wonderful class on movies and our favorite part of the Hitchcock films was finding his appearance in each movie.

North by Northwest is my all time favorite though I really do like Vertigo as a close second.

A good double feature would be North by Northwest followed by the Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor comedy Silverstreak. A good Hitchcock drama followed by a good comedy with a similar plot line.

I'm not sure if its my favorite but we watched Spellbound this week and really enjoyed it.. the skiing scene was a crack up! You have to remember that back then very few people watching the big screne had ever skiied and Hitchcock was probably one of the first to attempt such a scene
