Shadow of A Doubt – well the man himself liked it but i’ve already said too much.
North by Northwest – good old rollicking fun and a visual masterpiece.
Marnie – lets just not go there.
Strangers on A Train – a two-person test of wills, great tension.
Rear Window – for a cool blonde grace kelly was hot ! all them sub-plots through the apartment windows. others hate it.
The Birds – disqualified for scaring me sh1tless as a child, and i’m still no good with birds.
To Catch a Thief – mmmmm……..gracie….
Vertigo – has got to be up there ?
Pyscho – yeah i know we’ve all seen it too often. but that final chilling scene of perkins “thinking” in his mothers voice with the creepy eyes.
Notorious – my choice. stunning b+w cinematography, great restrained acting by grant in a non-comic role, bergman rarely sexier, rains the embodiment of believable evil (compare modern film villains). think it was in that truffaut interview he said it was his favourite.
Others ? – why ?

I think psycho wins, if im honest. 8)
