1. Shadow of a Doubt
2. Strangers on a Train
3. The 39 Steps
4. Rebecca
5. Vertigo
   (If we're just doing his American films then I would move 4 & 5 up and put either Spellbound or Foreign Correspondent at #5)
6. Spellbound
7. Foreign Correspondent
8. The Lady Vanishes
9. Psycho
10. Lifeboat or Rope (I can't decide
    )
    I've seen all of Hitchcock's feature films (except of course "The Mountain Eagle"), so narrowing this list down was very hard with so many great films to choose from. Every one of his films has something to recommend it.

We're on the same page except for The 39 Steps. I've seen 24 Hitchcock films but have never seen this one. I note that it has a very good IMDB rating of 7.9. Even more impressive is the no. of voters - over 32,000. Also, I see that it's available on youtube so I plan on watching it soon.

I don't like Rope as much as you do. I would rate it top 15 of Hitchcock's films, not top 5.
Of course, it's still Hitchcock which means it's very suspenseful and has some great plot twists.

ColonelHansLanda — 11 years ago(July 15, 2014 09:26 PM)

I'm a sucker for limited setting films. That's why Dial M for Murder is up there to. Guess I'm missing Rear Window though!

1. Rebecca
2. Rear Window
3. Vertigo
4. Psycho
5. Notorious
   Others I've watched - Dial M For Murder, Foreign Correspondent, Strangers On A Train, North By Northwest, Frenzy, The Birds, Shadow Of A Doubt
   EDIT: Now have watched The Trouble With Harry, Lifeboat and Rope. The Trouble With Harry becomes my 5th favorite Hitchcock ahead of Notorious.

I also like Rebecca as no. 1. You haven't watched Shadow of a Doubt? But you're on a Shadow of a Doubt Message Board.

srinath_r_htanirs — 11 years ago(July 23, 2014 06:19 AM)

I have - it's the last one I've listed

I actually checked your reply twice and missed it. I see it now!

For two cents, here ya go:

1. North by Northwest
2. Vertigo
3. Psycho
4. Dial M for Murder
5. Rebecca
6. The Birds
7. Marnie
8. Saboteur
9. Spellbound
10. Lifeboat

@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.
