Top 10 Alfred Hitchcock Movies

[@lpvfilms5141]

It should be a federal crime to spoil Psycho’s ending.

[@j.x.x.r3645]

I agree with you. when ever I recommend it to my friends, I always tell them that it's about a woman who steals some money and runs from the police.

[@drstrangelove09]

meh... overrated by this presentation... I would have ranked it #12

[@greatindianbuilder2491]

I want to watch the film but I know that is I watch it I will not sleep for 10 days. 🥺

[@eggrollorsoup6052]

Exactly. This video gave too much information in Vertigo, also.

[@eggrollorsoup6052]

Yes! This video gave away some other movie spoilers. I haven't seen "Strangers on a Train" yet, but, I feel like "The Man Who Knew to Much" now.

[@KungaMatata]

1. Vertigo 2. Rear Window 3. Psycho 4. North by Northwest 5. Notorious 6. The Birds 7. Spellbound 8. Dial M for Murder 9. To Catch a Thief 10. Shadow of a Doubt

[@79075]

To catch a thief 👍🏻

[@leschroniquesdelhorreur4019]

I confess is good too

[@ameliatorres6162]

Marnie is one of my favorites.

[@garymckinley6974]

Vertigo and Rear Window both had the wrong stars together James Stewart should have had female co-stars nearer his own age. He was nearly 30 years older than Grace Kelly and Kim Novak. North by Northwest was iffy for the same reason, but Cary Grant could pull it off.

[@Contemporarywise]

What about frenzy

[@JakeJoeyYoey]

I know some of these films are over 50 years old but a spoiler warning would still be appreciated.

[@ch33sypoofs]

No Kidding, I was trying to decide which movie to watch and now I'm like, well I guess I'm not watching Dial M for Murder.

[@masonallen3961]

That's exactly what I was thinking. I've only seen one Hitchcock movie so far ( it's Rear Window in case you're wondering ) and I'd like to see the others.

[@kennethliyanto9833]

That's the first Hitchcock movie I saw too! His movies are truly amazing, I've just watched Psycho today and I'm in so much awe. Try watching Rope or the other Jimmy Stewart/Hitchcock movies. North by Northwest is an awesome and breathtakingly stylish film. Vertigo had one of the best twists ever and some others that don't make the cut like To Catch a Thief and Marnie are still really fun to watch.

[@TheBigBaconBounty]

I think Vertigo deserved number 1, an absolute masterpiece!!

[@stuartherkes9990]

The thing that always bothered me about Vertigo is they never explain how Jimmy Stewart's character didn't fall to his own death at the start sequence.

[@Timmypup]

Agreed. My favourite of them all.

[@nicolasnelson7752]

RandomActsOfDaniel could not agree more

[@Timmypup]

Vertigo wasn’t well received at the time. That’s because it was waaaay ahead of its time, before audiences caught up with his genius. The best of them all.

[@paulastansell9884]

"Rear Window" is my second favorite Hitchcock film. "Vertigo" is my favorite.

[@jackcorcoran1778]

Psycho is his most well-known, but Rear Window is by far his best movie

[@haintedhouse3052]

i love them both for very different reasons. Rear Window is so well crafted and visually stunning, while Psycho, also well crafted, is almost suffocating with it's dark character studies.

[@ghost_perk1530]

Jack Corcoran I had to watch _Rear Window_ for my history course and it definitely got my attention.

[@leschroniquesdelhorreur4019]

I love both of these movies yet I think the movie i confess with Montgomery clift is an incredible movie too

[@mazs1123]

North By Northwest --all day, every day. It encapsulates all of Hitchcock'smost famous devices. Funny, highly romantic and, of course, suspensful. Cary Grant was never better.

[@casrifay]

You should add: “ in my opinion “, although I find Rear Window the most charming if his films. And people underrate Psycho just because it is a horror film, but once you drop the label the work emerges

[@richardbain8746]

My Top 10 10. Rope 9. Lifeboat 8. Pyscho 7. The Birds 6. Rear Window 5. Strangers On A Train 4. Notorious 3. Vertigo 2. North By Northwest 1. Frenzy

[@swevven6663]

Hpw is 8 psycho?

[@paullee3636]

My three favorites are 1) Notorious 2) Vertigo 3) Rear Window. Notorious is the greatest Hitchcock film ever. A Masterpiece and one of my all-time favorites. Ingrid Bergman performs a phenomenal portrayal of a vulnerable character. Notorious also contains one of the most iconic and longest kiss in cinema history. Hitchcock uses his complete mastery of the camera to get away with the 3-second kiss rule and his shots with the keys are perfectly shown to the audience.

[@cha5]

Yep, But I think Stan Lee has to have surpassed Hitch number wise just doing movie cameos at this point....... Well actually no that's not the case at all when you think about it, Hitch was after all doing cameos in his films from his silent movie era in the 1920's all the way up to his last film Family Plot, (1976) That's what 50 to 60 years? 'Stan the Man' is just a newcomer in that regard, So Hitch is definitely still the movie cameo king bar none. ;-)

[@rdblk84]

[@lukacunningham342]

I did, if they wouldn’t it’d be *MURDER!* (pun intended)

[@JT-rx1eo]

In my opinion, putting Psycho #1 identifies it as an unsophisticated list, one that prioritizes popularity over art, and is compiled by a young person and/or for a younger bubblegum-chomping audience.

[@ben-qb9lg]

The most underrated Hitchcock is definitly "The Lady Vanishes".

[@roddycurt9139]

Yes! This is the film where he really comes into his own!

[@preving]

Shadow Of A Doubt with Joseph Cotten was apparently Hitchcock's favorite film.

Until someone pointed it out elsewhere, I didn't realize the scene where the murderer is lured into the plot goes on for a full half-hour. 1 room just 2 ppl yet it's riveting. The camera angles and movements that punctuate the conversation as the bait is taken and lured in is fabulous.

Plus it's storyline is much better than vertigo9and I love vertigo)-it gets treated unfairly as it's not a thriller like most of his others-compared to similiar themed films around the same time it's pretty good and gets better with each viewing-unlike murder or juno and the paycock.

[@bailinnumberguy]

There was never a doubt what the #1 was going to be. I'd put Rear Window at number 1. One of the great masterpieces in movie history. For most of the movie the audience shares the perspective of the protagonist looking out at his neighbors. It's really an amazing film.

[@sensitivedogs]

I have a special place in my heart for REAR WINDOW.

[@adrianothegoat]

Randy Bailin I knew it would be PSYCHO since it’s so good

I thought that was very clever! Well done!

[@ChristianBaleBatman]

My favourite movie is Rebecca. It has one of the most unexpected plot twists I have ever seen in a movie. The visuals are impressive keeping in mind that it is from 1940. Apart from that the acting is outstanding: Joan Fontaine is great as the gorgeous innocent woman and Dame Judith Anderson is so terrifying as the wicked housemaid. But the most outstanding acting is from Sir Laurence Olivier. He dominates the screen in almost every scene as the mysterious, yet adorable widow.

Pyscho and Rear Window are my favourites of his. I liked The Birds, but never really got it, but I suppose thats what made it great though, that there was no answer or explanation, and you're left wanting to know why, yet you can't. Rear Window was so interesting and ugh amazing. Pyscho is self explanatory, everyone knows Pyscho and theres a reason for why its his most successful or known film, its because its sheer, utter brilliance. Everything about it was amazing, and the ending is chilling. It didn't need torture, or gore to be 'horror', all it needed was suspense to make it 'scary'. That is the reason why Pyscho is one of my favourite films, and why Alfred Hitcock is my favourite director. He, himself, was brilliant.

[@uchihadante77]

I quite like The Rope. I think is one of the most interesting movies of classic cinema. It`s quite underrated also, it doesn`t gets the attention that deserves, maybe because of all the fame of the other movies.

Ritz Chelsea I feel it's overrated. While I do appreciate the twists and turns I just didn't find it as enjoyable as Dial M or Rear Window. It had me interested up until the famous murder scene and everything after that just failed to draw me in. The characters, story and situation just seemed weaker to me. It was a good film, but not his best. It gets the top spot because it challenged so many movie conventions all at once and was still a huge success and is remembered to this day, but as a movie on it's own merits it's just not as strong as some of his other works.

He had a huge impact on our culture. I remember his TV show, and I remember seeing the Birds as a kid, and it freaked me out, Rear Window too.

[@ivomiguelbarroso]

My top-12: 1. Vertigo (1958) 2. North by Northwest (1959) 3. Spellbound (1945) 4. Rebecca (1940) 5. Strangers on a train (1951) 6. To catch a thief (1955) 7. The man who knew too much, 2nd version/“remake” (1956) 8. Dial M. for murder (1955) 9. The birds (1963) 10. Notorious (1946) 11. Marnie (1964) 12. The 39 steps

[@ivomiguelbarroso]

I let Psycho and Frenzy out

[@not_henry_the_fifth]

Ivo Miguel Barroso what about 'rear window'?

[@koleferrill2806]

Ivo Miguel Barroso where is psycho!😠😠

[@sensitivedogs]

I LOVE YOUR LIST! from your list this is how I rate them: OUTSTANDING are VERTIGO, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, REBECCA, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, THE BIRDS, NOTORIOUS, MARNIE & THE 39 STEPS, each of them for very different reasons. EXCEPTIONAL are DIAL M FOR MURDER & TO CATCH A THIEF. NOTEWORTHY is 1956, THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. SPELLBOUND is above average but great set pieces and interesting psychology.

[@toyaadams8167]

i forgot all about "To catch a thief"...that wasn't on either list...like are they insane??????....that's considered 1 of Hitchcock's BEST...I tell people this ALL THE TIME...STOP listening to mojo...y'all know they're on that "stuff"...lol...

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

I can´t believe Rope didn´t make the top 10 , it´s a very bold story plus it was all shot with a single camera , one of the the best movies ever made imo .

[@cha5]

I really can't choose which Hitchcock film I'd put at Number 1, Probably Rear Window or Vertigo, But there are some days I'd have to put North by Northwest & Psycho into that category. Shadow of a Doubt? Strangers on a Train? Notorious? so many great films. Ten is really too small a number for Hitchcock masterpieces.

[@sleuthentertainment5872]

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

[@_ttnxo]

Notorious is my favourite. It's so underrated, I wish it got the recognition it deserves.

[@positional_play]

Well, at least it was Roger Ebert's (one of the best and most famous film critics) favorite Hitchcock movie and made it into his Top 10 for a long time. But later he replaced it with Vertigo. I really liked it, too, though my favorites are North By Northwest and Rear Window.

[@muhammadirvansyahsyahaziz7758]

I watch it because Ingrid Bergman

[@joanskurnick8511]

Claude Rains is terrific in this movie, in an understated way.

[@Myrdden71]

North by Northwest has always been my favorite, and I would have Rope in my personal top ten. Then again, there are so many great ones to choose from!

[@victoriajohn7079]

North by northwest is my favorite too

[@greglapointe1311]

Shadow of a Doubt should have been in the top 10

[@TS-wo3vw]

[@ChadQuick270W]

+Vastik Mishra Rope would certainly be in my Top 5 Hitchcock Movies. It's a great classic that often gets overlooked

[@jamesmcload1137]

I've just updated my list after watching a lot more Hitchcock films.

[@b.j.morgan8175]

There is a true story to The Lady Vanishes ?

[@boneym5084]

Worst comment

[@MrCushcam]

Saboteur is v good

[@bettinaalmasan8468]

"Vertigo" is the greatest by far. And "Spellbound" deserves a Top 5 ranking, not a honourable mention.

[@1517CalvinMartin]

Respectable top 10 list but I think "Shadow of a Doubt" should be in the top 10. My favorite of Hitch's 1940s films and Joseph Cotten's Uncle Charlie is Hitchcock's best villain IMHO.

[@wimm864]

My Ranking: 10. The Lady Vanishes 9. Rope 8. Strangers on a Train 7. Notorious 6. Rebecca 5. Dial M for Murder 4. North by Northwest 3. Vertigo 2. Rear Window 1. Psycho

[@lukasschmincke6692]

Rebecca is my favorite Hitchcock movie. :)

[@bakedbeansgangstajones3937]

[@lithint55]

Mine too

[@SSJ3rocks]

I gotta give props to Watchmojo for showing Hitchcock's cameo in every one of these movies.

[@godriczimmerman]

For me, "Notorious" is underrated on this list and "The Birds" is overrated. Also, "Vertigo" or "Rear Window" should be the No.1

[@ObscuredByTime]

Have you seen "Shadow of a Doubt?" I ask, because I share your sentiments. Personally, I love "Shadow of a Doubt."

[@michaelbingham4111]

I know, and Frenzy and Marnie very underrated.

[@parsifal40002]

"The Birds" underrated?? No way!! An absolute classic horror film! The suspense was so palpable you could touch it!

[@lorik.6669]

godriczimmerman, Who makes the best wine, beer, cheese, automobile? Good bar talk, party chatter, book of lists topic. I think they are all worthy of enjoyment, appreciation and discussion. Skip the ones that aren't your taste as I would, replay the one's that you still find satisfying. Sort of like food and restaurants.

[@gooddognigel4947]

I love them all.....but I especially love North by Northwest.....should be #1.

[@dustycraig7648]

Family Plot is such an underrated flick. Barbara Harris was a comic gem.

[@yvvscagnetti7631]

1. Rear Window 2. Psycho 3. The Man Who Knew Too Much 4. North By Northwest 5. Vertigo

[@willmccormick947]

"Shadow of a Doubt" should have made top 10

[@SerenityBane]

I love a good Hitchcock film! Even though I could rate my top five, they are really so close, each one wins by just the merest fraction. I love them almost equally: 1.Rear Window 2. Shadow of a Doubt 3. Vertigo 4. Psycho 5. Marnie

[@ronaldh8446]

An honorable mention should be made to "Frenzy" - Hitch's sole R-rated film and vastly underrated. He's got too many great ones.

[@sarahfreed8648]

Psycho was R-rated, what are you talking about?

[@ronaldh8446]

Sarah Freed It was Rated R many years later when it was resubmitted to the MPAA. That association and the ratings system was not in place for another 8 years after Psycho was released.

[@sarahfreed8648]

+Ronald H okay. i did some digging (Wikipedia), and found that it received an M rating, equivalent to a PG rating. thanks!

[@ronaldh8446]

+Sarah Freed - :)

[@martinda7446]

I love 'Frenzy' too, it has some magnificent performances and some unforgettable scenes. The fingers in the potato truck, for one. It also though has an unpleasant, nasty feel running through it, as Hitch was trying to up the ante for modern viewers. Also has the odd bad forced dialogue, and poor support, which would never have been allowed to slip through when he was fully on the ball. I love the policeman and his weird wife too. My faves are the oldies and Rear Window..and The Birds and ... well all of 'em.

[@shahzadicovell9379]

Shadow of a Doubt is Hitchcock's greatest film, and his greatest artistic accomplishment: it possesses a flawless formal perfection that is to be found in very few films in the history of cinema.

[@michaeljohn1462]

Notorious is one of his best films, up there with Psycho and Rear Window. Hitchcock is the best director of all time... and that's from a 16 year old

[@lottaandgus]

Notorious is my favorite.

[@haintedhouse3052]

@gee gee depends on the actress. Eva Marie Saint, Grace Kelley, Janet Leigh, Teresa Wright, Shirley Maclaine all had good relationships working with him. Tippi Hedren of course might disagree.

Rear Window is actually the crowning achievement of beauty itself because I don't know if a woman has ever looked more amazing on film than Grace Kelly did in that movie. Just wow! Vertigo or Lifeboat might have to fight it out for my favorite Hitch film though. Well I don't know. There's no way I could ever answer. LOL!

[@joshuathompson2088]

Im a huge hitchcock fan and i notice at the start of the video something that watchmojo did. Every tim they go to a different movie they start with a hitchcock cameo. Number ten/0:57 Alfred in picture on the left. Number nine/2:13 Alfred in a fedora walking to the right. Number eight/3:21 Alfred drinking his glass up high then walks out to the left. Number 7/4:20 Alfred in long coat an fedora or bolder hat walking behind the man and officer to the left. Number 6/5:33 Alfred in a suit and fedora loading up a a base violin on the train. Number 5/6:43 Alfred walking out of the shop with a bunch of mini poodles. Fun fact about the bird when you watch it there is no background music not at the begining or the credits alfred did that on purpose to scare the audience and it worked. Number 4/7:35 Alfred in black suit missing the bus. Number 3/8:41 Alfred walking to the right with a grey suit and a black instruments case. Number 2/10:15 Alfred in a black suit standing near the fire place on the left. And before i say what number on is did you know that alfred did not win a oscar till 1967. Hitchcock was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1980 and received numerous honors for his work, yet the Academy Award for Best Director always eluded him. He was nominated for the prize five times-for “Rebecca,” “Lifeboat,” “Spellbound,” “Rear Window” and “Psycho”-but remained, in his own words, “always a bridesmaid, never a bride.” When Hitchcock finally received an honorary lifetime achievement Oscar in 1967, he gave one of the shortest acceptance speeches in the ceremony’s history, saying only, “Thank you…very much indeed. And if you wanna see more facts like this one go to the history channels website right here/www.google.com/amp/s/www.history.com/.amp/news/9-things-you-may-not-know-about-alfred-hitchcock And number 1/12:21 Alfred standing outside in a black suit and a fedora on the right side of the window.

[@wurlitzer78]

you forgot the wrong man and to catch a thief . both are definitely top 10's

[@paullee3636]

To catch a thief is Hitchcock's most underrated film. It should be mentioned on the list. Marvelous plot, scenic shots, full of suspense, and has the two iconic Hitchcock leads Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. The blue dress worn by Grace Kelly might be the most beautiful piece of clothing in cinema history. Brilliant!!!

[@anjithas5033]

Where's the blue dress . One in her first scene. If yes it's not that good

[@howryou5144]

Psycho is great movie of all the time.

[@terrortower666]

Simantiko Index Yeah Psycho is a great film. A lot of people here are saying others of Hitchcock’s films are better, which to be fair is just their opinion. But to me Psycho captured something extraordinary and amazing, the suspense, the performances and the power plot, created something that couldn’t be created by anyone else than Hitchcock. And it started a revolution and a legacy afterwards that no other Hitchcock film, or film of that time did.
