Dial m for murder and psycho are my all time favourites, I also like rear window and the lady vanishes. The lady vanishes had a slow start but once they were on the train it was great.
I've never saw it but I've just looked and apparently it's a "modern remake" with some things changed. I might watch it and see if it's any good.
They're *very* different. A Perfect Murder is interesting but an ultimately flawed film for too many (spoilery) reasons. When it keeps to the general idea of the original (which it does for the first third), it works quite well. When it deviates (which it does for the rest of the movie), it falls apart.
Psycho, Rear Window and Dial M for Murder for me. But I do like North by Northwest, the Man who Knew too Much, Rebecca....in fact so many! Hitchcock without doubt is my favourite director of all time
Simply for the scene where Melanie is driving the car and when she turns the car, the lovebirds turn with her. What a brilliant scene.
Yes, that's a funny scene. For me the classic scene is where
Melanie is waiting outside the school, **** in hand, while the children sing that interminable song, and all the while the crows are gathering on the climbing frame behind her whilst she is oblivious, until finally, she spots one flying overhead, follows it with her eyes to its landing spot... Just brilliant in every way.
My all time favourite is Stage Fright, which never gets mentioned when the best Hitchcock films are listed. I also like Strangers on a Train, The Lady Vanishes, Frenzy, and Dial M for Murder.
I will never understand how Vertigo has become a Cult film, it was a flop when it was first released, and deservedly so, and it is still as bad as I remember.

Notorious starring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman is also a classic. So is spellbound starring Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman.

I have seen a few of his classic films but a very long time ago.

I love the 70s feel of Frenzy and it made a great change after Hitch's long US period.
