@aciolino.
Actually, I must revise my list as follows:

1. Rebecca
2. Shadow of a Doubt
3. Dial M for Murder
4. Strangers on a Train
5. Psycho
6. Vertigo
7. Rear Window
8. The Man Who Knew Too Much
9. North by Northwest
10. Suspicion
    It's possible that Strangers on a Train should be ranked higher on my list. Great acting, many plot twists, great set pieces.

What is this fascination with strangers rankings of films?
Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.

@jellyree.
Well, sometimes someone likes a film and convinces you to watch it. Recently, on another board, a person recommended I watch "Brief Encounter." I found it on youtube, watched it, and enjoyed it immensely.
On this board, someone ranked "The 39 Steps" in their top 5 which makes me want to see it. Alas, I have not done so yet but I will watch it soon.
Other than that, It'ts interesting to see if other people agree with your picks.

   I don't understand the love for NBN. I love Cary Grant, and I enjoy most of Hitchcock's films, but NBN does nothing for me.

I love how we can all appreciate Hitch, but in different ways. I love the one you don't, and your favorite is not one of my own. Just shows us how broad his appeal was and still is.
My favorite 10 are:

1. Psycho
2. Rope
3. North by Northwest
4. Mr. and Mrs. Smith
5. Rear Window
6. The Trouble with Harry
7. Lifeboat
8. Dial M for Murder
9. Rebecca
10. Spellbound
    I really could go on and on, but these are what I'm most likely to watch on any given day. Having said that, I watched Shadow of a Doubt and Strangers on a Train today and loved them as well.

Frenzy is so wonderful, so genious, so fantastic, that every other movie fades in comparision.
However, almost all the other Hitchcock movies are also fantastic.
For some reason, Rope doesn't do it for me.
I have read so much about the Leopold/Loeb case, so the film is just meh.

Rear Window is one of my least Favorite Hitchcock films..However, I loved his masterpiece that is 'Vertigo'.
