All 52 of Sir Alfred Hitchcock’s feature films ranked

 

one of my all-time fav directors, (though not fav humans), alfred hitchcock, was born on this day 125  years ago.

above is a comprehensive list of all of his 52, films, some obscure, ranked in order.

while i agree with most of rankings,

‘the shadow of a doubt,’

ranked #2 in this list, is my personal #1,

it utterly terrified me, and still does. 

do you have a personal favorite?

  2. As much as I class myself as a ‘devoted film fan’, I don’t adore Hitchcock as much as others do. However, I do love some of his films.
    The 39 Steps.
    Shadow Of A Doubt.
    Strangers On A Train.
    Rear Window.
    Rebecca. (Wonderful adaptation of a great novel)
    Frenzy. (Mostly for the London locations in this rather lurid film)
    Best wishes, Pete.

  6. this is a fabulous list, Beth; I’m a great Hitch fan but there were some of these I didn’t know: ‘Rebecca’. ‘Birds’, ‘Psycho’, ‘Strangers on a Train’ but the one I would watch again and again is one of the lighter ones, ‘The Trouble wth Harry’

  13. So many good movies. I’d forgotten some titles until I scrolled through the list. “Rear Window,” “The Birds” and “North by Northwest” had all come to mind before I checked the list.

  15. Psycho came out in my junior year of HS. The memory was still with us in college, and all the girls on my floor had an unwritten pact that if we were studying late and wanted to take a shower, we could wake up our roommate to come down and sit outside the shower just to make sure no one would come in.

  18. I loved all the Top 9 on the list. I have not seen many of the films, including Juno and the Paycock. In the 1980’s, my wife and I rejected an invitation from my brother and his wife to see a matinee theatrical performance of Juno and the Paycock and opted instead to hang out at a motel swimming pool. Predictably they claimed it was the greatest play they ever saw and it has been a family joke ever since.
