The best Hitchcock film

[littlebabyjesus]

Strangers on a train.

Yes yes. I knew there'd be trouble.

Glaring omission has zoomed into second place...

You missed out my two favorites!

Spellbound and Rebecca. Although you did explain why you left them off I cannot change the fact that they are my favorites!

Spellbound – I have conflicting views on this one. I liked it, but I didn't. I mainly did, but it was weird.

Ugh! No mention of Notorious!? What's wrong with you people?

This is a biased poll.

I have not included anything Hitchcock did before going to America because, as the two versions of The Man Who Knew Too Much clearly demonstrate, he was still learning his craft with his British films in the 1930s and 40s. Feel free to disagree and vote 'other'. The likes of Torn Curtain, Frenzy and The Trouble with Harry have been omitted entirely at my subjective whim. With more options, they would be there also.

My vote goes to Marnie.

The "Lady Vanishes" would have got my vote and the "39 steps" is more fun than "North by Northwest"his other jolly chase road movie.

As to "The man who knew too much" the first version has Peter Lorre, sinister taxidermists and dodgy dentists, number 27 London double-deckers, and Dixon of Dock Green coppers by the aforementioned Peter Lorre. This shoot out scene is also clearly based on the siege of Sidney Street, which should clearly make it closer to the heart of all those London Anarchist types alleged to post here.

The remake has Doris Day singing , and the child in the latter is a whiney little brat, as the clip shows.

I dont' know...I was never a big Hitchcock fan. I haven't even seen any of his movies from beginning to end. I guess when you grew up with Star Wars, The Exorcist and Alien then Hitchcock seems pretty tame

although I do like older movies, in general

I am torn but I do have a soft spot for Rear Window
