1935 1h 26m Approved. 7.6 (62K) Rate. 93 Metascore. A man in London tries to help a counter-espionage agent, but when the agent is killed and the man stands accused, he must go on the run to save himself and stop a spy ring that is trying to steal top-secret information.
- Rear Window (1954) Hitchcock's greatest film is a perfect thriller that interrogates our obsession with observing the lives of others. It follows Jeff (Jimmy Stewart), a photographer in a wheelchair recovering from a broken leg, who snoops on his apartment complex's neighbors through the lens of his camera, and soon uncovers a confounding mystery.
- Psycho (1960) Hitchcock's back-to-the-basics, infamous thriller essentially invented the horror slasher subgenre, and it playfully upends our expectations about cinematic perspectives, points of view, and just how far a film's narrative can go to pull the rug out from under audience expectations.
- Notorious (1946) You can find some of Hitchcock's tensest sequences and most creative shots in this espionage drama, which follows a German American woman (Ingrid Bergman) as she infiltrates a group of Nazis in Brazil.
- Vertigo (1958) Is Vertigo a film primarily concerned with unquenchable desire? Doomed romance? Sins of the past? Mental illness? There are so many different ways to read Hitchcock's dizzying noir.

There were some incredible movies released during 1939, and admittedly, Jamaica Innisn't up there with the very best. It's commonly regarded as one of Hitchcock's lesser movies, in fact, being an adventure/crime/thriller movie with a slightly odd tone, and also being made shortly before the director started to make a name for himself in America. It might not represent 1939 or Hitchcock at either's respective best, but it's a movie that's overly criticized sometimes, and is actually pretty dec...

Alfred Hitchcock's final film was Family Plot, and it was screened out of competition at the Cannes Film Festivaljust a few years before the director passed away. It's a fairly convoluted crime/comedy movie, bringing together con artists, kidnappers, and a missing heir into one complex narrative. It's certainly not the most well-balanced Hitchcock movie out there, but Family Plot has a good deal to offer, as well as boasting some fun performances from a cast that includes Barbara Harris, Bruc...

The title Blackmail doesn't mess around, because this 1929 movie is straight to the point and indeed about what the title would suggest. It centers on two people who are experiencing their relationship grow apart, and what happens when one of them gets involved with another shady character who could ruin both of their lives. Created just two years after the advent of sound in cinema, Blackmail is notable for being Alfred Hitchcock's first talkie, after he made a number of silent moviesearlier...

- Psycho (1960) Starring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles and John Gavin.
- Rear Window (1954) Starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly. Hitchcock asks uncomfortable questions about the human desire to watch and consume. Hitchcock's tale of obsession and voyeurism is meticulously detailed, both in the choreographed actions of the characters, and also in the wonderfully constructed sets.
- Vertigo (1958) Starring James Stewart and Kim Novak. Vertigo would hold a special place in film history if all it had to its credit was its pioneering use of the dolly zoom, which creates a disorienting, dizzying effect.
- North By Northwest (1959) Starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. Three years before the James Bond franchise took off, Hitchcock made a classic spy thriller, about an advertising executive caught up in a ludicrous case of mistaken identity.
