I'm afraid I have to agree with franzkabuki. Overacting, musical score (although great music) that was waaaaay too drama

Vertigo
North By Northwest

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.

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.

Wow, no one at all has my top five! I used to think Shadow of a Doubt was the best, but it's only #2:

1. North By Northwest (one of the best films of all time)
2. Shadow of a Doubt
3. Torn Curtain
4. Saboteur
5. The Paradine Case
