I am so happy that you started with the British Hitchcock because most people only know: "Psycho", "The Birds", "Rear Window", etc. I consider "Rebecca" as Hitchcock's greatest film. Hitchcock learned with his British films how to construct great movies. There are nothing on film like: "The 39 Steps", "The Lady Vanishes," "Young and Innocent", and "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (Peter Lorre). I absolutely love the two early American films: "Saboteur" and "Foreign Correspondent." There is a British feeling to both of these highly American films. I truly believe that it is Hitchcock's British film experience that made him the great director he was! I couldn't possibly decide on my #1 favorite Hitchcock film. I love his British films most of all. I love his early American films too. However, I also love "Psycho", the Cary Grant Hitchcock's, and the Jimmy Stewart Hitchcock's. Nothing he made was just O.K. (Maybe Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but in reality this was not a Hitchcock film, but a studio film.). Everything he made was unforgettable!

Hi Leo. Totally agree with your comment. My favorite Hitchcock film at the moment is "Shadow of a Doubt". Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@leoinsf]

@@CinemaDaveMedia Dave: Did you know that "Shadow of a Doubt" was Hitch's favorite film. I kind of think that the fact that this was his young daughter's first film and it was filmed in Santa Rosa, CA: a unique little Americanesque town, it became a memorable film for him.

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

@@leoinsf Yes, great trivia about that film!

[@heatherparisi8250]

Psycho, Rebecca, and Rear Window are my favorites of his films.

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Great picks!

[@thisvampireheart1]

Ohhhh snap! Will have to watch this after work since I've been considering the Hitchcock set for a while now.

[@goodowner5000]

In "Lifeboat", Hitchcock's cameo comes via a newspaper, he is shown in a ad for a weight loss/slimming product.

[@happyfenton7977]

I think he makes an appearance in a newspaper!

[@happyfenton7977]

Vertigo is my favorite followed by Shadow of A Doubt and Rebecca.

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Great choices!

[@paulb111]

Hi Dave. As you probably know, this month The Criterion Channel are featuring Holiday Hitchcock movies and the one I watched, The Skin Game, from 1931 was simply excellent. Going in, I didn't expect to be as rich and developed as it was. The story is very interesting and all of the actors are top notch. Just wanted to recommend if you have some time.

[@MAXXIN4]

Very nice colección

[@akajkyt]

Great video! I have the Hitchcock masterpiece collection (UK edition) My top 3 Hitchcock films are in order from best to 3rd... Vertigo, Rear Window and Psycho.

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Thanks for sharing your favorites. So many great films. Vertigo and Rear Window revolve in the top 2 spots for me.

[@lifeisactuallyveryboring.7771]

I like 1. Rear Window 2. Psycho 3. Strangers on a train. Bruno is one crazy son of a bitch. lol

[@quitequiet1]

Always love Hitchcock! My favorite probably would be Rear Window. Normally I would love to get that big collection of Hitchcock movies, but I don’t want to own Frenzy. I found one of the murder scene too graphic and disturbing, so watching it once is enough. I own the earlier print of the Hitchcock/Truffaut book and I think it’s coming apart at the seam now because I flipped through it so frequently. If no one answered your Lifeboat question yet, Hitchcock appears on a newspaper.

[@happyfenton7977]

Vertigo is my favorite!

[@BlurayDan]

Hey, Dave! Loved this video, man. You can really hear your passion for Hitchcock. I didnt really how many were actually released on Criterion. I have that box set and I love it. Recently watched Psycho and The Birds which was a first time watch for me. Great films! The box set is a beauty but I have an issue with how tough the discs are to get out lol Hope you're staying safe, man!

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Hi Dan. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate the kind words. The Criterion Hitchcock releases are amazing especially with all of the special features. Hope you are safe and well.

[@Jordan-mb7nv]

I absolutely love alfred hitchcock dvds

[@thalastkg]

Great Collection!

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Thanks!

[@christopherkenyon1256]

My favourite Hitchcock film is Rebekah my next favourite Hitchcock film is vertigo my next favourite Hitchcock found a psycho oh my third favourite is the birds

[@christoperhinton2075]

It's amazing how Hitchcock worked with so many hollywood greats. I guess my list of top three would be North By Northwest, Rear Window, and Rebecca. Another couple I didn't see in your collection are Spellbound with Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck (with a dream sequence by Salvidor Dali) and Dial M for Murder with Grace Kelly. Criterion did a release of Spellbound years ago and I hope they do a bluray soon with 4k transfer. When you get the Lodger and like it, I would recommend the remake made in 1944 directed by John Brahm and staring Laird Cregar.

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Yes, Hitchcock definitely attracted many celebrities and Hollywood greats with his work. Thanks for sharing your favorites. It’s an ever evolving list for me and I realize it would be easier to pick the very few of his films that are not favorites. I did see Spellbound and Dial M for Murder but still need to pick those up. I have seen The Lodger and the Criterion Collection release is on my list for picking up. I have yet to connect with many silent films but am hoping one day to learn and study more from this era of film.

[@throws89]

Tough to narrow it down to top 3 but I think I would go with 1) Rear Window 2) Vertigo and 3) Frenzy. Runner up would be Psycho and The Birds. I recently watched Family Plot and was a little disappointed. Not sure if it was the casting or the overall story but it didn't click with me. A rare miss from the master of suspense. And I have that original collection you are talking about. Your version looks a lot slicker, but I do like that mine came in a velvet case.

[@stefanoripari1816]

Ascoltate le musiche di Bernard herrmann sono eccezionali

[@blabla7752]

Got that masterpiece collection in the UK but it's missing north by Northwest. Also your American version is a much nicer material and includes a book. The uk does have special feature disc. My fav btw is Rope

[@myfasmarine]

Bla Bla I also have the UK edition. I got it a while ago from Amazon before I knew how to do my research.

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Rope is a great choice. Thanks for sharing your favorite Hitchcock movie.

[@Jordan-mb7nv]

Its got to be pyhco for me the best ❤

[@happyfenton7977]

Shadow of a Doubt is two and Spellbound is three.

[@WolfGratz]

Yep - he managed an appearance in Lifeboat in much the same way as he got into the very nearly one set Dial M for Murder. I liked The Lodger but I will admit to hating the new score by Nithin Sawhney which they are promoting as a major reason to get the new print from Network. I really ought to replace my release for that. As for favourites: Strangers on a Train, Shadow of a Doubt, Psycho, Notorious today. And yep - all black and white. Some of his use of colour was brilliant - esp that red dress in the otherwise less than inspired Topaz but as a master craftsman in light and shade he was a genius. Best colour film - probably Vertigo but I admire it rather than love it. It's a pretty nihilistic movie - as is Pyscho really except that has a certain twisted humour that Vertigo lacks IMHO.

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Hello and thanks for sharing your favorites. It’s so tough to pick a top 3. Your top 4 are all brilliant! Hitchcock gives his viewer so much to study and learn. He is absolutely one of my favorite filmmakers of all time.

[@WolfGratz]

@@CinemaDaveMedia It's a "long" top three. If I were to drop one it would be Pyscho which is of course technically great but well, a bit unpleasant. Amusing but unpleasant. Or perhaps I just mean unsettling/disturbing. Whatever.

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

@@WolfGratz Yes, you are so right. I could easily have Stranger on a Train and Shadow of a Doubt in my top 3 also. All very good picks. Psycho is classic yes but not currently in my top Hitchcock films.

[@davidgriffin9667]

I too love Hitchcock's films and have all the extant movies on disc. My favourite films are Marnie, Vertigo and Notorious. I veer back and forth between the two versions of The Man Who Knew Too Much, currently preferring the remake over the British version.

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Great choices for favorites! Vertigo and Notorious are always at the top of my list.

[@Nolasco.]

Hi Dave, thank you for your video. A question, is there any collection of Hitchcock that has spellbound and Notorious? I found them really hard to find anywhere. Thankful for any kind of help with that. Thanks again 💕

[@CinemaDaveMedia]

Hello. There is Alfred Hitchcock: The Classic Collection which has Notorious, Rebecca, and Spellbound available on Amazon.

[@Nolasco.]

@@CinemaDaveMedia thank you Dave, is there a chance it's region 2 or region free? I live in Europe so 😅

[@Nolasco.]

@@CinemaDaveMedia found them now Dave 💕
