        Not quite, but it is an absolutely brilliant film all the same. The climax especially I found nail-biting.

          Nah, I'd put it at #9. Which doesn't mean that I didn't like it, I just liked 8 other movies even more. My top 5 are Rear Window, Notorious, Psycho, To Catch a Thief, and The Birds.

              Absolutely. This is one of my favourite movies and I consider it to be one of Hitch's best.

                Absolutely in Hitch's top five. In fact, it's one of my favorites of his, along with Psycho, Rear Window and Rebecca.
                Dunno what film I'd choose to round out the top five. Probably The Lady Vanishes.

                  It's one of my favorite films, overall. Hitchcock is my favorite director. His strength as a director was visual, but I love this one for the characters and dialogue.

                      No, I never saw what was so special about this movie and I'm a big fan of the man's work. My top five would be:
                      Vertigo
                      North By Northwest
                      Rear Window
                      Psycho
                      Rebecca

                              Absolutely. If anything, given its particular sly subtexts, this film is even more relevant to modern audiences than it was when it originally premiered.

                                  This is one of Hitch's more straightforward and less intriguing psychological thrillers, but it's probably his most well-crafted. So where do I place it? Easily in my top 10. In terms of performances, however, it's in the top 5.
                                  Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

                                      In answer to the OP's question, and recognizing Hitchcock is widely quoted as having said this is his favorite,
                                      No.
                                      I am not even sure it would make the top ten, but let me think about that one.
